Today was an amazing day!!! We went to Naples, Florida to meet with Skip Riffle, who heads-up "Bikes for Tykes" which is an organization that donates bicycles to children & people in need!
This past year his organization & volunteers donated over 1,500 bicycles! He was kind enough to give us 20 bicycles that we will fix-up and make good as new!
A little TLC, elbow grease, help from people like Skip, our corporate donors, and church sponsors are all helping us get started on our mission to deliver our 1st Annual Bicycle drive!
We have teamed up with local community leaders in Port St Lucie to give local kids in need a bicycle of their own!!!
Thank you Skip and everyone helping to put this mission together!! If you are interested in helping out in anyway please messenger me!!
The event will be on September 11, 2021 @ St James Orthodox Church, in Port St.Lucie. There will be a BBQ, organized bike ride and lots of kids riding their new bikes!!!
As Father Maximus believes "Supporting children in our local community inspires faith, hope and love." He is certain it is the foundation for a stronger future.
Bikes for Tykes, Inc. © is a 501(c)(3) Corporation. Our mission is to provide underprivileged children and families in need with bicycles. Bikes for Tykes exists to give little people bicycles.
Why?
1. Empowerment - A bicycle is not JUST a bicycle to a young person. It is freedom, independence, transportation and much, much more.
2. Improve Health - We are witnessing an obesity epidemic. Getting people on bikes is an important step in changing that. Getting them on bicycles when younger is HUGE.
3. Help the Environment - Bikes for Tykes, when possible, refurbishes preloved bicycles in
Operating as usual

It’s not just for the little tykes anymore. According to founder Skip Riffle of Naples, Florida, there is also a need among adults looking for transportation to work – such as the field workers in Immokalee, Florida – and a need by some seniors for a safer form of recreation than a two-wheeler offers. [pic 1]
With that in mind, Fred Hammer helped Freda Belanger of Imperial Bonita Estates arrange for her rusted, and broken EZ Roll Regal of antique vintage to be added to Frank Gaylord’s trailer load of other bikes headed to Skip’s workshop.
Freda, not the tallest lady, needed a three-wheeler that allowed her to pedal with her seat slightly back of the pedal hub, and this one had an adjustable frame that did just that! [pic 2]
So, while Skip’s team of volunteers took Freda's trike apart, and repaired, replaced, and adjusted whatever was needed to make Freda's bike look and ride like new, Fred took the frame and other parts home for hours and hours of grinding and sanding to prep it for a new coat of paint. [pic 3]
Finally, on March 23, Frank introduced Freda to her new, old three-wheeler while friend Hazel Ewing looked on. [pic 4]
Fred and Frank unloaded the trike, and Freda admired the new wheels. [pic 5]
Within minutes, Freda was riding into the sunset with a smile on her face. [pic 6]
The next day, Freda rode to Pauline Drive, where Bob B. admired her new ride. [pic 7]
Bikes for Tykes (and families!) wishes Freda many happy miles….
