The Bike Match program with Routt County Riders is starting up for the summer season. This is where people donate bikes that they might not need any longer. Here’s Matthew Rochon.
“The Bike Match program started about four seasons ago as an idea to get bikes out of garages and into the community so that people who don’t have opportunities to cycle in our community can do that.”
Routt County Riders fixes them up, and teaches kids how to be bike mechanics. Then they donate bikes to kids and adults in the community who need one.
