Hands On Nashville Provides Bikes For Children - NewsChannel5.com | Nashville News, Weather & Sports

NASHVILLE, Tenn.- Christmas came early for hundreds of elementary students. Saturday, Hands on Nashville gave away 200 like-new bikes to kids who may not otherwise get a gift-filled Christmas. As part of the ReCYCLE program, they take old, unused bikes, spruce them up, and give them to children in need. The children also get a new helmet and a safety demonstration.

Volunteers hope it will give the kids a sense of independence, not to mention great exercise. One hundred more bikes will be given away this coming week.
