Kids鈥� bicycles and wheeled toys were up for grabs on Saturday at a special sale by Jasper Bike Rescue.
Bike rescuers Roy Nickel and Christopher Isbister set up shop at the Jasper Baptist Church, asking for donations for the Jasper Lions Club in return for the revamped wheels.
The kids鈥� sale raised $200 for the Lions - and a one-of-a-kind adult townie bike with a Jasper Brewing Co. panel was sold by silent auction for a further $410.
Jasper Bike Rescue took on the Lions鈥� annual bike auction this year when the club couldn鈥檛 find people to work on donated bikes.
All bikes previously donated to this cause are being reconditioned by Nickel and Isbister and sold online with a 鈥榮ignificant鈥� portion of the proceeds going to the Lions. These are labeled specifically on the bike rescue Facebook page.
And ten per cent of every bike sale is also donated to the Jasper Skatepark Committee, who are raising money for a new skatepark in Jasper.
