    🚲 Every Kid Deserves the Chance to Ride 💙Through 🚲 Every Kid Deserves the Chance to Ride 💙Through our work with the Naperville Outdoor Alliance, we’re excited to share a big step forward…We just picked up the first 20 bikes for Kennedy Junior High. They are all assembled and ready to go thanks to the incredible team at Spokes Bikes in Naperville 🙌What many don’t realize is that there are kids in our own community who have never had a bike or never learned how to ride one.This initiative is about changing that.Seeing these bikes lined up and ready for students is just the beginning. These aren’t just bikes they’re opportunities for confidence, growth, and inclusion for every student who will now get the chance to participate.Huge thank you to Basil Radi and the entire Spokes team for helping bring this vision to life.Big thanks to the board and to Ethan & Madeleine for coming out to help us load up the first group of bikes.Next stop: delivery to Kennedy Junior High 👊#Naperville #CommunityImpact #NapervilleOutdoorAlliance #GivingBack #YouthPrograms #BikeProgram #LocalImpact

Stay tuned for more information on where you can get your hands on one of these custom items.
