The bicycle X-Change refurbished over 60 used bicycles to be given to kids through Communities In Schools.
In December Communities In Schools provided a Holiday Assistance program for many of our students and their families. With the help of more than 60 local individuals and businesses, an estimated $24,570 in cash and in-kind donations were received and CIS was able to make 54 CIS family’s Christmas brighter.
In addition to the Holiday Assistance, Bicycle X-Change joined with CIS once again in December to provide more than 60 bicycles to local CIS students.
Communities In Schools is dedicated to connecting children and families with existing services and resources to help them successfully learn, stay in school and prepare for life. Locally, CIS was established in 1990 and serves elementary, middle, and high schools in the Wichita, Haysville, Derby, Catholic Diocese and Valley Center districts.

I'm guessing this was from the late 1980s. It was put out by the Wichita Bicycle Committee. This particular map came from Riverside Sports Inc. 1908 W 13th in Wichita.
Another great New Years Day get-together. Thanks Dave! Tons of good food including chili, chicken, gumbo, sandwiches, chips, crackers, dip, brownies, cupcakes and of course black-eyed peas. If I counted correctly there were 24 that attended not including the kids. About 16 of us rode. The ride was a cold one being only 28 degrees with a windchill that had to be way below that. From now on I think this ride will be known as the "Polar Pedal" as Stephanie called it.
Several public works projects expected to be completed this year include West Street from Maple to Central; Oliver between Harry and Kellogg; Meridian from 31st South to 47th South; improvements to the 21st and Broadway intersection; and a new bike path along the I-135 corridor, from McAdams Park to Grove Park.
The Bikes For Tots campaign gave us this plaque for our 2008 contributions. It was also accompanied with a couple of nice thank you letters from Mr & Mrs Charles Williams (founders of Bikes For Tots) and the Salvation Army. These documents will go in the Coasters scrapbook. Thanks to Dan for picking this up as I never got around to it.
This evening I spotted 2 of the give-away bikes being ridden down the sidewalk. I knew they were the bikes because one w
as the boys and the other the girls and the girls still had streamers. Nice to know they are getting use.
I'm sure that's fine. They'll also need help loading bikes into trucks. I had forgot to post that they are also assembli
ng bikes on Sunday beginning at 1:00pm. I just updated the post.
