ARVIN, Calif. - Bike Arvin is cleaning up after one of their storefront windows was broken. Natalie Barrett from Bike Bakersfield and Bike Arvin said, a thief broke the window Thursday then stole almost all of Bike Arvin's scooters.

They plan to reopen on Saturday from 11a.m. to 3p.m. and have their next Friday bike ride Friday, May 11 at 7 p.m.
