Stirring photos from latest bike giveaways

These photos come from an album posted by our friends at the Boston Housing Authority.  Their photographer, Rachel Boillot, did a wonderful job of capturing the essence of the program.  See the whole gallery here.

IBC Preps over 200 bikes!

 Thom Parsons at IBC has been such a dedicated part of the Roll it Forward effort. And now we know from this blog post that it isn't just sweat he's put into it.  He completes the trifecta with blood and tears.  Thom, don't you know to always wear your helmet, especially in your storage warehouse?  Check out the link to discover what Thom goes through to prep over 200 bikes (and counting) for our distributions.
Thom also composed a great report about our bike distribution in Dorchester for residents of Franklin Field, hosted at Sportsmen's Tennis Club. 

Who would win in your Super Bowl of bikes?  And can you believe we somehow prevented 50 kids from skidding their bikes?
