hey bakers dozen ain't bad!
XMas Charity BMX Bikes.
- Thread starter blackohio
- Start date
I got notified of a couple more donations today from people I've provided the link to - hope they're not too late for you.
Might not add up to another bike, but we can use the $$ to get stuff like bike pumps, tubes etc for the kids.
I'll probably kill the link tonight just so theres not anything coming after the fact since we'll be delivering stuff tomorrow.

Looking good man, I'm going to head out in a hour or so.
Met Joe lastnight when came up and got 6 bikes and helmets for the kid's down south.
awesome^2
Nice work!
thanks gents.
Took me forever to get home, since CalTrans closed the freakin freeway last night. Dropped off the bikes this morning. The ladies at Big Brothers were so stoked. The Bigs picked up the bikes this afternoon and will be giving them to their littles. 5 boys and one girl. Hoping there are some good pics of bikes being delivered!
Stoked.
Last 7 bikes built. Delivering Monday.
"must spread rep..."
Well done guys. Well done.

Delivered the last 7 bikes this AM to a very appreciative BB/BS office.
Yea buddy. I'm hoping we can put together something sweet for the kids to ride. It would be cool to see them out and enjoying the bikes.

told the ladies and they said they might be able to help with costs for a vans skatepark demo/day.
No photos of the delivery?
Nope. I was in a rush to get back to a meeting. They shot some but I'm not sure how quick I'll get them. I hope your not still insinuating with that question that this whole thing is somehow still a possible scam.
The money shot is less fortunate kids getting their first bikes right?
Big Brothers kind of regulates interaction with the kids. The bikes I dropped off they had the Bigs pick up and give to the kids. I know one kid got his already and the other ones should be getting theirs.
My office is closed this week, so it may be a little bit before I get some pics. The lady also said not all the kids have press release waivers so they aren't allowed to release photos of the kids.

Stay classy
I know alot of you dudes gave, and I was looking at my rep today and saw all the comments. I wanted to thank you guys it meant alot to have such help from a group of semi-strangers.
Thanks again guys!
Thanks again guys!
Totally worth it.
Thinking about kicking this into gear again.
I'm all in on this. I thought last year was badass.
If all goes well this may be the only Christmas activity I participate in.
I thought it was a hell of a round last year.
Minus the little monkeys, but those are a given.
i would kick in again
Im talking with pinkbike/sharetheride (gasp! sorry B.V.) about their share the ride program and doing one locally. That would mean potentially much greater access to funds, prizes for donors (not that it mattered to you guys last year, but hey!) and the ability to buy more bikes, for a great spread of ages and the ability to do an event to give kids the bikes, maybe get a demo going and some grub.
Hopefully I'll have good news there.
Hopefully I'll have good news there.
If it means a bunch of kids get smiles and wheels this Christmas, I don't care if you're personally talking to R.C. at MBA
So here's the good news. I'll be working with Share The Ride to set-up a socal event to deliver bikes to kids this christmas. Going big this year!
If this sounds like something you might like to read about or donate to, heres a link http://www.pinkbike.com/sharetheride
Last year they raised $41,000 to give kids bikes. Hopefully this year we can crush that. So if you want to donate please do so, if you want to help but cant donate please share this link. If your new to my friends list. Last year I decided to give some kids with Big Brothers Big Sisters Ventura bikes for christmas. Thanks to all your kindness I raised enough to deliver 13 bikes and helmets to kids.
If you are industry and want to help looking for helmets and locks as well this year.
Thanks!!

Little update about this years. Getting involved with PB we'll (here in cali) to BB/BS be giving 13 kids bikes, helmets and Shimano is donating a fishing rod/reel to each kid as well as hosting the event where we give the kids their bikes.
Sweet, donated and shared the link.
Done.
