One of the things we enjoy most at Communicycle is seeing what happens after a bike leaves our workshop.

The article below shares the story of a bicycle giveaway program in Johnstown, Pennsylvania when a police officer recognized that many kids were walking long distances without reliable transportation. What started with a few repaired bikes has grown into an effort that provides hundreds of bicycles to local children each year.

Over the past several years, Communicycle has helped support these giveaways by providing refurbished bicycles. The partnership has connected volunteers, community organizations, and law enforcement around a simple goal: making sure more kids have a bike to ride.

We believe good things happen when people come together to serve their neighbors. This story offers a look at one example of that work and the people who have helped it continue to grow.
