Adaptive Bike Delivery

We now have a schedule for the delivery of the adaptive bikes. As in past years, they will be delivered to the Cheyenne Fire Department Training Facility at 7222 Commerce Circle Way in Southeast Cheyenne.

We will need some Rotarian Volunteers on Friday evening, May 16 for the uncrating and assembly which will occur between 5:30 and 7:30 at the Training Facility. The assembly is not complicated so you don't need to be a mechanic or engineer to help, just bring gloves and a box cutter..

The gifting of the bikes to the recipients will take place at the same facility on Saturday May 17 from 10 am to 2 pm. The gifting is a heartwarming experience which I highly recommend.

Questions? - Call Tom Bass at 307-286-9943.
