Our story
It all started with my little brother Bradlee through Big Brother's Big Sisters. I really wanted him to have a nice bike so a couple of years ago, I found an old Specialized mountain bike for $20. I figured with my own love of bikes, both triathlon and mountain biking, taking apart this bike would be a good way for me to familiarize myself with how to fix things in the future.
Well, it's true, it took a lot longer than I had hoped and even though we are just friends now, in the end it was a perfect gift for his 11th birthday. We even went on our first mountain bike ride together and he did amazing.
Once I finished his bike, I had "the bug" and the idea that I could keep finding cheap or free bikes and fix them up for people that can't afford a bike but would get so much out of having one. As soon as I finished his bike, I built my own bike stand and here we are.
