In just five years, Linking Handlebars, a non-profit started by Rye teens, has donated over 1,000 gently used bicycles and helmets to children who might not otherwise have had the chance to enjoy the joy of riding own bike.
Before the holidays, they partnered with Bikes4Kids and Miller’s and collaborated with Mike Williams, Logistics Coordinator at the Port Chester Carver Center. The team worked tirelessly every Tuesday for four months and gave away 140 bicycles and helmets that made many Christmases bright.
