BIKE AID STATION
Blue Sky Velo's Rob Winter watches students air up their tires at the grand opening of the Blue Sky Velo bike aid station at Westview Middle School, 1651 Airport Rd., Thursday morning. The idea for the station, which features a pump and several tools, came about early last year when Winter saw one at Fossil Ridge High School. "It really makes sense given how many bikes we have around here," Winter said. Blue Sky's long term goal is to have a bike aid station at every school. Blue Sky Velo bike club was able to purchase the bike aid station at a "significant" discount through Reeb Cycles and Saris, the station's manufacturer.
