The Rogue Valley Bike Swap will take on a different form this year. We are collaborating with the Rogue Valley Transportation District (RVTD) to facilitate a bike donation drive. Donated bikes will be distributed to local organizations with the aim of getting bikes in the hands of those affected by the Almeda Fire, veterans and low-income community members. If you have a bike that you are able to donate, we will be accepting donations on June 18, 1 to 4 p.m., and June 19, 9 a.m. to Noon. Donations will be accepted in a drive-through format at these times at the parking lot of The Grove, 1195 E Main St, Ashland. Bikes should be in working order, but those in need of minor repairs are welcome. For questions contact Sulaiman Shelton, 541.552.2264, Sulaiman.shelton@ashland.or.us.
