Build-A-Bike
If you’ve ever built a bicycle – perhaps in the wee hours of your child’s birthday morning – you know it can be a bit of a challenge.
That didn’t stop more than 50 Levi Strauss & Co. employees from signing up for the YBike volunteer project on the company’s annual Community Day today.
YBike is a San Francisco YMCA youth program, which introduces the responsibility and freedom that bicycles bring to urban kids who might otherwise not know.

Levi’s® Jeans. Well Worn, Well Read.
In July of 1885 a worn-out Harvard graduate named Owen Wister had a nervous breakdown. His doctor advised him to head out West to improve his health, so he traveled to a Wyoming cattle ranch. Surrounded by jaw-dropping scenery, cowboys who slammed down whisky in saloons, and gamblers who fleeced the unwary, the enchanted Wister went back home a new man. He made more trips West and, encouraged by his friend Theodore Roosevelt, Wister began to write stories and novels about the people and places that had inspired him.
