SARATOGA SPRINGS — Saratoga Shredders, a local 501c3 nonprofit whose mission is to empower kids by getting them on mountain bikes, is hosting their second annual Bike Swap on Saturday, April 29 in the Saratoga Spa Park, Hawthorn Pavilion.
The Swap is an event to buy and sell gently-used bikes and cycling-related items - for kids and adults. There will be bikes, bike racks, cycling clothing, wheels, tools, and other cycling-related accessories. Swing by to drop off items to sell from 10 to 11 a.m., and then come shop from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
Proceeds from the event will go toward getting more kids on bikes. Saratoga Shredders runs programming for kids on bikes in the Spring and Fall, with summer camps in the Summer. Program registration for Summer Camp is now open.
There are 4 different programs running this Spring between Albany and Queensbury - girls-only programs and coed programs for kids grades K-12. Their aim is to remove as many barriers to entry for the sport of mountain biking. They provide full program scholarships and bikes to kids in need.
