A local bike program delivered hundreds of bicycles to people in need throughout the community.
On Sept. 10, Lil Hoots Family Boutique announced its final delivery for the annual community bike program.
The program, run alongside Joker Bicycle Co, led to over 400 bicycles being donated throughout 2025.
"I've always worked on bikes," said Jake, owner of Joker Bicycle Co, "We've had a few people donate a few parts that we're very grateful for, but most of my funding comes from the normal bike shop duties that I do."
In a Facebook post, Lil Hoots added that the program would not be possible without Jake fixing the bikes, the community for donating their bicycles, and the people who donated money and parts for the program.
"A bicycle is technically free to ride if you get one. You don't need fuel or gas or whatever," added Jake. "It's a new kind of freedom. You can go places that cars can't go and have fun, and for adults, it's a way you can get to work."
Jake hopes to continue doing the community bike program for several years.
