Whether you’re searching for a new bike or looking to part with an old one, you’ll want to check out Rick’s Bike Sale in Apple Valley. The 16th annual sale features more than 350 refurbished bikes. Rick Anderson, along with help from volunteers and businesses, refurbishes donated bikes and sells them to benefit Kids ’n Kinship, a nonprofit that connects kids in need with mentors, and DARTS, a nonprofit dedicated to improving the quality of life for senior citizens. In 2023, the sale raised almost $63,000 for these charities, with 4 percent of sales proceeds going to purchase bike parts for refurbished bikes.
Rick’s Bike Sale is held 11:30 a.m.–3 p.m. May 11 at Dick’s Valley Service Impound, 5905 Upper 147th St. W., Apple Valley; ricksbikesale.com. Donations are also accepted year-round.
