Bikes for Kids Utah moved up its annual bike giveaway and fundraising ride to May 31 to give recipients more time to ride their new bikes during the summer months following the giveaway. The group also hopes to guarantee warmer weather for its 5km, 50km and 100km fundraising rides.
"We have had two extremely successful events and each year we learn something new about making the next event better than the last." said Debbie Reid, founder and director of Bikes for Kids Utah. "It didn't seem right to give a child a brand new bike in the fall when he or she may only have a few weeks left to enjoy it. The new dates give these kids at least three to four warm months to really get a feel for and enjoy their bikes."
