Warriors & Waymo Community Bike Event
Gear Up for Adventure
On Saturday, June 21, eleven of our youth and their families from our Bayview YMCA community attended and participated in the Warriors & Waymo community bike event at Chase Center. Youth received a free bike and helmet while meeting Golden State Warriors player, Gui Santos, who shared his love and advocacy for biking in the city during the opening ceremony.
Our Bike Community
Other community organizations and small businesses were also in attendance, giving free goodies and providing information on bike safety and other youth programs and services. Youth also got to enjoy other fun activities such as decorating their bikes and receiving various balloon models like swords and hats. Those who were present:
· San Francisco Bike Coalition
· Larkin Street Youth Services
· Kids Bike Lane
· Trips for Kids Bay Area
· Cycles for Change Oakland
· Arthritis Foundation
· Bike Rodeo Supply
Hit the Ground Pedaling
After our youth received their gear, Kids Bike Lane provided free bike repair and maintenance service while Bike Rodeo Supply had set up an obstacle course for them to test out their new bikes and skills.
