All patrons of downtown Youngstown are urged to support this bike rack fundraiser.  Without adequate bike racks, people will continue to chain their bikes to whatever structure they are able to find.

In conjunction with this fundraiser, a Bicycle Transportation Map of Youngstown is being released.  The map lists city streets that are suitable for novice cyclists, intermediate cyclists, and advanced cyclists.  Steep inclines are also noted.  The map was created with the help of cyclists from the Out-Spokin Wheelmen and the Ohio Bicycle Federation.
