Bike Repair and Donation

MSO Repairs bikes and donates them to kids in the community. We acquire bikes through donations, and after a few repairs and a bit of tuning, we get them operational again, to be used and enjoyed by kids in the community.

MSO started this project with a generous donation by the Kiwanis Club of Olds, and through the 2025 bike riding season, over 50 bikes have been donated to the community.
