It seems odd to be posting photos of kids riding in mittens and jackets on the first 80-ish degree day of the year, but we've been busy here at Roll It Forward. But busy here is a good thing. Busy means more people on bikes. This donation happened in South Boston on April 31st 2011, just a day after the donation at Orient Heights in East Boston. Come to think of it, why were kids wearing jackets and mittens on April 31st? Well, because it was unseasonably cold and eventually, sleety. It would be nice to say that the dampness didn't put a damper on the festivities, but that was not the case. As the sleet began to fall, people began to scatter. At one point, late in the event, one kid refused a bike. His dad asked him why, "THIS ONE'S WET!" he replied. After he finished laughing, the kid's dad told him he could fix that, no problem.
More photos after the break...
