“It’s springtime and we’re excited to celebrate the beginning of riding season with this fun annual event in Huber Heights,” Bisig said. “This is a great opportunity to bring all of your family and friends out for camaraderie and friendship as we promote safe cycling throughout the year.”
The blessing will also serve as a fundraiser for the shop’s newly founded non-profit mentor and community outreach program called We Are Bike Kids. The program serves underprivileged youth by paring them with a mentor who helps them “find success in life through the joy of riding a bicycle.”
A raffle will facilitate the fundraiser. One winner will go home with a DK Helio 24 bike. Tickets for the raffle are $10 each and can be purchased at the event.
“With every ticket purchased you’re sponsoring a kid to get active on a bike,” Bisig said. “It’s really a win for everyone!”
Following the raffle and blessing, BMX riders are invited to ride out together to Monita Field. A two-and-a-half mile family ride will roll out at the same time.
