Shift Community Cycles is hosting a community event from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Friday, June 6, at its shop, 811 W. 6th Ave., to celebrate and support its mission of providing free bicycles, affordable maintenance and educational programs in Lane County.

The evening will include food, drinks, a silent auction and a tour of their programs and facilities. Interim Executive Director Kendsie Channing emphasized the impact of cycling on lives, highlighting the organization’s goal to make biking accessible to everyone.

“Bikes change lives. Whether it’s helping a child ride to school or enabling someone to commute affordably and sustainably, our goal is to make cycling accessible to all.”

Community members can support by attending the event or donating to the silent auction, with all proceeds funding Shift’s initiatives.
