Earning two wheels Richmond Public Schools teamed up with Rag & Bones on Nov. 24 to refurbish up to 50 bikes for students who improve their attendance — with some two-wheelers rolling out to recipients as early as next week.

The school district plans to distribute bikes through the spring and again before summer break. Renee Hill works on the rear wheel and drivetrain of a bicycle.
