During the 2017 Fort Custer Stampede, WSI Cycling volunteers (Charles, Nicole, Tiffany, Alex, Bobby, Kathy and Zoe) were able to raise over $550 for the program.  These donations will be used for tools, parts, shop supplies and instructional materials for up to 3 years.

WSI Participates in National Ride of Silence

Wednesday, May 17, cyclists across the country participated in the National Ride of Silence. The National Ride of Silence consists of hundreds of slow paced rides across the country that are done in complete silence to raise awareness and remember those that have been lost or injured in cycling accidents. WSI riders were present at rides in both Marshall and Battle Creek. Rides were held in Kalamazoo and other local cities as well. The ride had a even more somber significance this year as we approach the one year anniversary of the accident in Kalamazoo which took the lives 5 and injured 4 other cyclists.

Members played various roles from working the sales floor to working the runway. Here’s a glimpse of the fun that was had by all. Now, let’s hope that the End of Winter Celebration really does mean the end of winter is near!
