Topeka Cycle Project - Let's install bike racks! - (9:30AM-12PM)

Get Connected Icon Happens On Sep 19, 2025
Get Connected Icon 9:30am to 12pm
Closed

Description

This is manual labor outdoors. We will need a small group to go to 4-5 sites in Topeka to install several bike racks to further the growing and extensive number of locations where you can ride to. Bike lanes and paths are great, but without secure places to lock consistently across town, we aren't offering a solid alternative for transportation option. Join us if a hammer, drill and bolts are your thing! 

(Wear jeans and boots if possible and bring work gloves and eye protection)

We will meet at my house to start and then travel to the various sites by personal vehicle. Groups can feel free to call my cell closer to and I'll have the locations determined.
