Yakima Herald-Republic

SUNNYSIDE -- Lucky 7 Bikes, a nonprofit bicycle mechanic apprenticeship, will hold a bike swap Saturday. The fundraiser is open to anyone who wants to sell or buy a bike.

The program, in which volunteers teach children bike mechanics, has more than 100 adult bikes to sell for prices ranging from $10 to $200.

Visitors are also welcome to bring their own bikes for sale at the swap in exchange for 10 percent of their proceeds.

After taking the winter off, volunteers will resume teaching bike repair next week from 5:30-8 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays at the shop, 617 Seventh St. For more information, call Sunnyside's Promise at 509-643-4264.
