The Nugget Newspaper - News and Opinion from Sisters, Oregon

Sisters is a generous community year-round, but especially in the annual Christmas season of giving.

Blazin Saddles’ bike drive is in its final days.

“If anyone that lives in or around Sisters is in need and could benefit from a bicycle this holiday season, we would love to try to help,” said Blazin Saddles owner Casey Meudt. “We have a lot of bikes available again this year; however it is first-come, first-served for donations of the bikes that we have cleaned, tuned, and replaced any necessary parts. We are also donating 40 free helmets with the first 40 bikes. We have kids’ bikes and adult bikes of many different types.”

Blazin Saddles is accepting bike donations through December 15; the cutoff to request a donated bike is December 19. To be added to the donation list, email [email protected]
