McPolin Elementary’s bike club to repair bikes
McPolin Elementary School and Storm Cycles plan to partner to help individuals fix their bicycles on Friday, May 18. Joe Dvorak, who leads the bike club at the school, said that the event is part of Park City’s Bike to Work, School and Play Day. The students in the bike club will clean bikes and help fix flat tires or perform other quick repairs.

The students will be at the playground during a bike rodeo that Dvorak said is set to take place at the school in the afternoon.
