DENVER — Among the cheers of kids on the playground working out the end-of-school day energy were the sounds of several very happy Brown International Academy students who were having one of the best days of their lives.
Brown Bike Bus meets at two separate locations, one of which is close to Sloan Lake. To the soundtrack of kids’ laughter, bike bells and catchy tunes, the riders on the Brown Bike Bus roll the 10 blocks down 25th Avenue to class. With that mission in mind, Denver7 Gives launched a campaign to raise money to buy bikes for more Brown International Academy students so they can share in the same positive physical and mental health benefits of cycling.
Bikes Together, located in Denver’s Lincoln Park neighborhood, sells refurbished bikes at lower cost to help more people get into riding with the added benefit of helping to keep bicycles out of landfills. Customers at Bikes Together can also pick up a tire, tube or other bike part on the cheap while learning the basics of how to keep their ride safely rolling around Denver.
