YYC Kids Ride is helping ensure every kid in Calgary their own bike.
Gar has already handed out a handful of bikes and received some unforgettable reactions.
“We open the door and [the kid asks], ‘Whose bike is this?’ I asked, ‘You want to try it?’ So he jumps [on and rides] it around and later comes back and I said, ‘It’s yours!’ And you can see him jumping back on it and [he] says, ‘Yes!’ And he didn’t say another word, he just took off,” Gar said with a huge smile.The group is now holding a bike giveaway at the Forest Lawn Community Association on Canada Day.YYC Kids Ride is also looking for more volunteers who can help pick up bike donations.
