Nearly $100,000 worth of specialty cycling equipment was stolen this weekend from Challenge Alaska in Anchorage. The equipment was a mix of standard bicycles and specially-made cycles for people with disabilities.
Nate Boltz is executive director of Challenge Alaska. He said the equipment is used several days a week for different programs.
Several of the 15 stolen cycles have hand-operated pedals. For that reason, Boltz said, they’re easy to recognize. And he’s asking people to keep an eye out for the stolen equipment.
