On Saturday, March 23rd, Mobility for All and Community Cycles teamed up in Louisville to host a Kid's Bike Giveaway. Nothing is more heartwarming than seeing the smiles of delight on kids' faces as they ride around on their new bikes! 27 children in our BCHA communities were given bikes and helmets.
Over the next year, Mobility for All is partnering with Community Cycles, Bicycle Colorado, and BVSD to connect Lafayette Elementary School families with bicycles, safe riding education, and practice rides as part of the Multigenerational Bike Access and Education project funded by CDOT's Safe Routes to School.

Take this short quiz to find out how much you know about plastics and their effects on our environment.
