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 attendance incentive program targets students in grades K-12, though organizers expect middle and high schoolers to benefit most since they can ride to school on their own. The school district plans to distribute bikes through the spring and again before summer break. Volunteer Steven Sullivan helps repair bikes at Rag & Bones in North Side on Sunday.

Cityscape Slices of life and scenes in Richmond-The 140-year-old Thirteen Acres School building stands behind Linwood Holton Elementary in the Hermitage Road Historic District. Built around 1885 as a brick farmhouse and later used by Richmond Public Schools for special education and office space, the structure has been vacant for nearly 20 years and is deteriorating. A School Board committee has recommended a one-year window for community proposals before demolition is considered. (photo by Julianne Tripp Hillian/Richmond Free Press)
