About the 12pm Ribbon-Cutting

To date, YDU has given away over 350 bicycles at events in Eyre Park and other Chester area locations. This initiative was made possible by a grant from The Pennsylvania Environmental Council and the Circuit Trails Coalition.

Through an additional fundraiser supported by The Foundation for Delaware County’s Associates Board, the Riverfront Alliance of Delaware County and a number of generous individuals, YDU has now purchased a Dero Fix-It Station for convenient self-maintenance of those bikes. The maintenance station will be freely available for all users of Eyre Park after the April 26th ribbon-cutting. All are welcome to celebrate the installation and to enjoy the park during daylight hours anytime.
