Bicycles bring cheer to Austin Texas children
by Jackie Vega
The idea of putting bicycles in the hands of Texas children all started with the creation of a T-shirt logo consisting of a bunch of bike parts, which later sparked the idea of promoting the goodness of cycling. It is because of this idea that 90 children in Austin received a bicycle early Saturday morning in recognition for the sacrifice their parents make in the Texas National Guard.
…Bikes for Goodness Sake coordinated its efforts and donated 533 bikes to children of troops across Texas, landing bikes in the hands of 90 local children of deploying troops. With the help of Bucks Bikes , troops in uniform were able to take their children to receive bikes, helmets and a safety lesson Saturday morning. It is something that means a lot to the children.
