As per our Obsession, we think every kid should have the experience of riding a bike. To move towards this goal we have initiated a Bikes for Tykes program right here in North Vancouver. The program was started in Naples, Florida 20 years ago and has grown and expanded across North America with 2 other programs in Canada (Montreal and Calgary) in addition to ours. Each year we partner with North Shore Family Services and other care agencies to help place previously loved kids bikes to under-privileged kids. We have placed over 200 bikes in two years and are well on our way to 300 for this season. In November we start asking for bikes to be donated and then through November and December we fix them up. We of course could not do it without the help of the North Shore Outlook, North Shore Family Services and various other benefactors.
