BIKE BARN HOURS ARE EXTENDED FOR SUMMER RIDING!

 April 1 marked the first day the Bike Barn was open for 2013.  A warm welcome was received from many riders coming to enjoy cruising down the Dick & Willie Passage on a borrowed bike.  You, too, can "Borrow a Bike, Bring it Back" free of charge.  There are a few simple rules to follow:

• Individuals under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
• Helmets, provided for you, and closed toe shoes are required for safety reasons.
• Bring a photo ID.
• The Bike Barn is closed when it is raining, the temperature is below 60 degrees, and when there is a heat advisory.
• For up-to-the-minute closings, check the website or Twitter feed.

Summer hours are 3 to 8 Monday through Friday, 9 to 6 on Saturday and 1 to 6 on Sunday.  There are 7 and 21 speed bikes, mountain and comfort styles, bikes for kids with and without training wheels, two tandem bikes, and one child trailer.  Come take a ride on the Dick & Willie Passage!
