Bikes for Kids in Saskatoon.
I was given the opportunity today to help out with the local rock station's Bikes for Kids charity event.
Here's the facebook link with a few more pics. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10156667093214734&id=173948594733
I was only there for the last couple of hours, but had a blast with my son tweaking and tuning up a few bikes. The last number I heard was 160 bikes that would be given to inner city kids-thats freaking awesome, I couldn't imagine being a kid without a bike.
People just kept dropping them off the whole time. Some bikes were perfect while others just needed the tires aired up and chains lubed.
But there were lots of bikes that just needed too much to make them safe and reliable again. Those ones were all sent to be recycled.
I took all of these shots with my Samsung Galaxy S6 today. Yeah it was windy and shopping carts were rolling around.
Get out there and get a kid on a bike!
It is so good to be able to help! The kids will be very happy. Congrats.
Awesome post Ed!! My father-in-law is retired now but he does this exact thing at his church. Always has bikes in his garage that he's working on. He does it for kids and pretty much anyone in need. It's a great program!
Great way to spend the day helping out others:)
What a wonderful Cause @edthecanadian

Fantastic! How cool!
I bet those kids who receive bikes will be thrilled!
What a great idea, not only getting new use from old bikes but also ensuring the most needy children can have a bike to ride on - like you say it would be terrible to be a kid without a bike.
