We welcome the surrounding Rogue Valley Community to the 30th Annual Rogue Valley Bike Swap (formally Ashland Community Bike Swap) on Sat, Apr 4. This event will provide a community venue in the Rogue Valley for buying and selling working-condition bicycles and related equipment, and is a fundraiser that promotes bicycle transportation and benefits bike safety education in Rogue Valley elementary schools. Donate your bike and help support youth cycling education… Bicycle and equipment donations are tax-deductible. Contact Sulaiman Shelton for more information on the bike swap or to volunteer at sulaiman.shelton@ashland.or.us, 541.552.2264. Volunteers get first peek at bikes! The Bike Swap is made possible by Ashland Parks & Recreation, RVTD (Rogue Valley Transportation District), JPR (Jefferson Public Radio), and the City of Ashland Police Department and Public Works. Free swag for all who attend! Stay abreast of event info at RVTD.org/bikeswap. #AshlandBikeSwap #AshlandCommunityBikeSwap #RogueCommute #RogueValleyCommunityBikeSwap
