The Old Saybrook Chamber Of Commerce Bikes For Kids Day  Thursday, August 7 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.  This event is to provide needy kids with their very own bike and new helmet.

The sign above states that Bikes For Kids has donated over 13,000 bikes, but actually it is now over 15,000 bikes.  Bikes For Kids has constantly donated 900 to 1,200 bikes to needy kids for the past four years, and hopes to improve upon those number this year.

Most of the bikes Donated by Bikes For Kids are for needy kids in Connecticut, but they have also sent bikes to:

  • Haiti after their devastating earthquake
  • 136 bikes to New York after Hurricane Sandy
  • Africa to help local villages get water and supplies faster

Bikes For Kids is a cause worthy of support, and for more information on the Old Saybrook Chamber Of Commerce Bikes For Kids Day Thursday, August 7 from 5:30 p.m to 7:00 p.m. should contact Karen at karen@oldsaybrookchamber.com.

Good morning George,  That's another great cause. Kids need more than just food and clothing.  They need to have some activity as well and the bikes can provide that.

George, the Old Saybrook Chamber of Commerce Bikes For Kids Day really sounds like a worthwhile event.  I guess I shouldn't be surprised that they are organized enough to find and send bikes to kids in other countries.  Nice shout out to them.

Good morning George. I can well imagine the turnout of bikers for a cause like this one. Great reason to enjoy a long ride and the outdoors.

I think every kid needs to have the experience of having a bike. Even if it is a hand me down bike, it is just part of being a kid.

Debbie I agree.  Some of my most happy childhood memories are of riding my bike along with my friends.
