WalkBike Frankfort and The Folkbike ReCyclery
received formal notification this week from the Kentucky Bicycle and Bikeway
Commission approving our Paula Nye Grant application to fund our mobile bicycle
education programs! The $18,000 grant will provide our community with
professional instructor training for our staff by the League of American
Bicyclists, an enclosed cargo trailer housing a mobile bike shop, a fleet
of bicycles, and everything we need to provide professional bicycle safety
training for both adults and children. Starting this spring, we will be
providing the following accredited courses to benefit our community.
In addition to the training courses, this grant will also pay for six public service announcements, upgrade the shop's work stations, and expand our public use tool library for folks to learn how to repair and maintain their bicycles. All this is made possible by a Grant from the Kentucky Bicycle and Bikeway Commission with funds generated by the purchase of "Share the Road" license plates by Kentucky motorists. THANK YOU KBBC !!! |
