20 Bikes Repaired Free at Kennedy Heights with Lots of Helpers!

This was the 5th time since April we’ve been out to Kennedy Heights to do free bike repairs. Wheels’ volunteer mechanic Alan Crossley organizes our free bike repair events. He observed, “The need for repair at Kennedy Heights is great.  We got sweet thank yous from the kids and genuine thank yous from adults who really appreciate the fact that we keep coming back. The best thanks is witnessing the joy the kids express cruising around the community on their bikes!”
