DESCRIPTION:
On Thursday, August 27, 2015, Dublin Police Services received a letter with a check in the
amount of $1,500 from the Valley Spokesmen Touring Club. The letter indicated that the Valley
Spokesmen wanted to provide the donation to support the Dublin Police Services “Bicycle
Safety Program.” The funds were made available as a result of a profit the Valley Spokesmen
made from their women’s only “Cinderella Classic/Challenge” bicycle tour in April 2015.
Dublin Police Services’ Crime Prevention Unit coordinates and sponsors several bicycle rodeo
and safety events throughout the year. The events target Dublin youth and focus on bicycle and
roadway safety. The donation allows Crime Prevention to purchase additional bicycle safety
literature, bicycle helmets, obstacle course materials, and bicycle maintenance tools and
