CAP Aids Community Bikes Project

The Community Action Partnership for Madison County (CAP) has been an active partner with Community Bikes in helping to facilitate the placement of bikes with families and individuals in Madison County who can't afford them.

CAP not only serves as one of several drop off locations for bikes around the county, but actively coordinates with other human service agencies, schools, churches and organizations in helping to identify families that need a bike.

 "Community Bikes has provided over 500 safe bikes, helmets and locks to local families in Madison County," said CAP Executive Director Julie Dale (center right in photo).  "The program not only allows youth a means of transportation and exercise, it also allows adults to commute to local jobs."

Community Bikes coordinator Chuck Fox said that CAP's involvement has been critical to the success of the program.

"CAP does an outstanding job of working with families throughout Madison County," said Fox. " Their partnership with Community Bikes has enabled the program to reach a growing number of families."

 A bike giveaway is scheduled for Sunday, May 8 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Kallet Center in Oneida.
