Big Brothers Big Sisters
Shawn,
I'm a volunteer Big Brother to a 13-year old boy named Jevontae. When the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Atlanta office called to tell me someone had donated a bike that may fit him, I was very pleased. I went to their office the next day to see the bike, and knew immediately that it would work for Jevontae. For the past two years he's been riding a bike that was designed for a small child, so he was ready for a larger bike.
I plan to give him hands-on lessons in how to clean, lube and adjust his new bike, as well as repair flats. I'm an avid cyclist, and we look forward to riding together this summer.
Jevontae will soon be sending you, along with his own thank you, a picture of himself aboard his new bike so you can post it on your website.
Many, many thanks for your generosity!
BTW, I read that you once worked at Roswell Bikes. I used to hang out in Todd's shop way too much. I've known him since he first bought the shop many years ago. If you see him tell him I said hello.
