Yellow Bike Project opens a new location
In honor of their grand opening, they will be celebrating this Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. The first two hours of the event will focus on youth and bike safety and feature a special moment for area youth as the YBP, in collaboration with the Austin Cycling Foundation, match local kids with donated bikes, as well as locks, helmets and light sets. Following that, volunteers will host an “open shop” at their new site, allowing anyone in the community to come by and use tools, get mechanical advice, dig through the bins of used parts or just check out the new shop and get more information on the Project and its current endeavors.
Started 10 years ago as an idea to paint bikes yellow and leave them unchained around town for public use, the YBP has grown to focus on education, community involvement and cycling as transportation.
