Kids without Bikes? Let's fix that.
Thank You Mike Mueller:
Do you remember your first bike? I don’t. It was probably a tricycle of sorts. Then I moved up to a something with a coaster brake. That too was quickly forgotten.
But BOY do I remember my first 10 speed. I was in 4th Grade. It had a fancy French name (Gitane) with metallic green paint with those multi colored Tour de France stripes, double butted alloy tubing and Simplex Derailers. I’m sure it didn’t cost much – but to a 4th grader it meant the world to me. I stop and think, “What if my Parents couldn’t afford to buy me that bike – or any of the bikes that came before it?”
That’s why I’m very excited to showcase the first Non Profit Facebook Business Page.
The Mark Reynolds Bike Fund provides bicycles to underprivileged kids in need.
Simple as that. Kids need bikes and they provide them to those that can't.
In 2004 Mark Jeffery Reynolds, a native of St. Joseph, Missouri, lost his life in a tragic event while mountain biking near his home in California.
Mark, an avid cyclist, would often hit up fellow cyclists for a couple bucks here and there in order to help young people whose families couldn’t afford a bicycle. He would work with the local churches to find the children in need, and deliver the bikes himself.
During the holiday season, Mark would personally purchase bikes to give to less fortunate children for no better reason than to see their faces upon receiving one of the most coveted gifts as a child. After Mark’s passing, his family created a memorial fund to continue the tradition that he so passionately believed in.
To bring this closer to home – Mark’s Mother is popular ActiveRain Real Estate Agent, Dona Reynolds.
