Apple Valley’s Rick Anderson sells bikes he’s refurbished to raise funds for a local youth-mentoring organization
Rick Anderson learned to fix bikes when he worked in a bike shop beginning at age 8 in his hometown of Austin, Minn.
For the third year, the Apple Valley resident is using that bike-repair know-how to benefit the local youth-mentoring nonprofit Kids ’n Kinship.
Anderson will hold his annual bike sale from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, June 4, at his home at 12738 Ethelton Way. The sale is open to the public.
More than 60 adult and children’s bikes will be available, with most bikes in the $15 to $75 range.
Anyone who purchases a bike can enter to win one of two $50 gift certificates to Famous Dave’s restaurant.
Anderson, an insurance agent by profession, is a bike-repair hobbyist who refurbishes bikes for the sale. Some of the bikes are donated, and others are purchased by him at garage sales throughout the year.
Anderson chose Kids ’n Kinship as the sale’s benefactor because he and wife, Lise, have served as volunteers with the organization, mentoring an Eagan boy for several years.
