This is a BIG thing and means a lot to me as there are 600 kids in the Great Bike Giveaway all deserving and hoping to win a bike so they can feel the wind in their hair. There are different types of adaptive bikes to fit the different needs of these special needs kids. The winners are not only selected by top votes in their categories as there are some random selections as well. I do support this structure as it makes in more than a "popularity" contest but I also want to see my buddy winning a bike. As of now, less than 100 bikes are fully funded. If all 600 bikes are funded, all 600 kids win a bike BUT no donation is necessary to vote. You can only vote once so please, take a couple of minutes and vote for my buddy HERE and please, please, please share the link or this post to help spread the word. Every vote counts and every share makes a difference. Let's be that small stone that creates HUGE ripples that lets my buddy and many more kids win a bike!
You can learn about a Buddy Bike HERE but from their website:
The Buddy Bike® is the alternative inline tandem bicycle (bicycle for two) that places the stoker (smaller rider) in the front seat while the rear rider controls the steering. The Buddy Bike has a lower front seat so both riders can safely enjoy the view. It is shorter in length than a typical tandem, making it easier to store and transport. The Buddy Bike is CPSC safety-rated for up to 380 pounds; making it the ultimate family bike that can be enjoyed by riders of most ages and abilities. The features of the Buddy Bike offer adaptive outdoor recreation and therapeutic activity to riders with cognitive or physical disabilities who may not be able to ride a bicycle safely on their own or who do not have the strength to pedal a bike alone. The Buddy Bike allows riders with autism, down syndrome, sight impairment or other disabilities to experience the thrill of riding a bicycle with the whole family. They are no longer left behind!
