The NY400 Batavus Bicycles were generously donated to Recycle-A-Bicycle by the Government of the Netherlands to create a public legacy. Twelve of these orange bicycles will be auctioned and raffled at the benefit. All proceeds will directly support RAB's community-based programming for the NY400 Batavus fleet.
