Community Bikes Creates 260 Happy New Owners

A crowd of several hundred people waited outside the Kallet Theater on a bright, beautiful Mother's Day Sunday for the opportunity to receive a free bike for a child or other family member.

The giveaway was the latest for the Hamilton-base group Community Bikes, coordinated by Hamilton Theater Manager Chuck Fox.

Working with schools, churches and social service agencies, Community Bikes pre-screened recipients and a crew of volunteers helped make the matches between riders and their perfect bike.

Also on hand was Madison County Sherriff Alan Riley, whose department donated and fitted the new helmets given to each rider, who also received bike locks.

All of the bikes distributed today were donated and made ready for the distribution by volunteers.
