Bikes for Kids Utah gives away 1,000 bikes

Just in time for summer vacation, 1,000 pre-selected second graders received brand new bicycles, helmets and a t-shirt from the Bikes for Kids Utah Bike Giveaway on May 30. The festival-style event in Murray, Utah, also included a Bike Safety Rodeo and instruction on nutrition.

"From the school administrators and the parents to the children and sponsors, everyone involved is filled with a sense of gratitude to be part of giving bikes to kids," said Debbie Reid, founder and executive director of Bikes for Kids Utah.
