Tips and Tune-ups at First Ever Comox Valley Car Free Sunday

The World Community Bikes folks encourage you to give your bicycle a treat on Sunday`s car free day in downtown Courtenay.

Look for the booth, located outside Zocalo Café, where for a small donation, volunteer bike mechanics will provide a quick tune up or some technical tips.

`Tips and Tune-ups for a Donation` will be available from 1:00 to 5:00 through the afternoon.

And while your bike is being looked after, you can treat yourself to some of World Community`s fair trade products. Organic, ethically traded coffee, tea, chocolate and other products will be available at market prices.

Since May 2009, World Community Bikes has partnered with Comox Valley social agencies to provide bicycles to adults who cannot afford other means of transport.

Donations of bikes or your skills as a volunteer mechanic are always welcome.
