Bikes for Kids program gives out 76 free bicycles
Staff Report



Seventy-six children from Sausalito and Marin City schools were awarded new bicycles Thursday for completing special learning programs at the district.
The Bikes for Kids program was among the events the city of Sausalito and the Sausalito Chamber of Commerce launched in conjunction with February's eight-day Amgen Tour of California, featuring 128 professional cyclists from around the world, which started in Sausalito.

The Marin County Bicycle Coalition provided safety instruction and skills training for the bicycle winners Thursday.

The coalition, Dynacraft Bikes and A Bicycle Odyssey of Sausalito were instrumental in the Bikes for Kids program.
