Do you remember your first bicycle? A bike to a kid can mean healthy fun and a source of pride and independence. We believer every kid should experience the joy of riding a bike...so, we intend to give away new bikes this Christmas to kids identified as being in financial need. Please join us in November to help make this a reality for many of our youth!
