Moab, Utah — Outerbike’s October demo event in Moab began with a community-focused bike build, partnering with national nonprofit Can’d Aid to assemble and donate 60 bikes to children in the area.
Volunteers from the biking community came together to build Can’d Aid’s signature cherry red, kid-sized bikes during the hands-on event. Ten bikes were donated to a local community center, while 50 went to youth in the Navajo Nation through the Diné Bike Project.
“The biking community is incredibly warm, involved and generous, and working with Can’d Aid in Moab was a great way to bring people together and give back,” said Brendon Cameron, General Manager at Western Spirit Cycling Adventures. “It was the perfect, meaningful way to kick off our event.”
Can’d Aid, which focuses on getting kids outdoors and active, has facilitated the building and donation of over 21,730 skateboards and bikes nationwide. The nonprofit has partnered with Outerbike for three consecutive years.
In addition to the bike build, Outerbike hosted a bike repair workshop for community members during the multi-day demo event, where mountain biking enthusiasts test ride bikes on Moab’s renowned trails.
