One Day, Forty Bikes

On February 19th, executives from AT&T Mobility assembled forty bicycles of varied sizes for local kids. The best part of this event is that eleven kids were on hand to pick up their bikes right where they were built. The remainder of the bikes were given to kids later in the week and also taken to Treehouse.

With this batch, Bikes For Tykes of Puget Sound has now provided over 500 bikes to kids and adults in the community - free of charge. A big thanks to AT&T Mobility for helping us get over this hump!

If you read the above article, you'll see that folks even have an opportunity to name it. It's not going to be a pastoral trail where someone can forget they live in the city; rather, it will be what the writer calls "an urban experience in many places." That's fine, so long as it contributes to the overall safety of the many riders who navigate the area surrounding this lake!
