JB and Sandy give away bikes Friday
Remember the first bike you ever had? That feeling of freedom when you rolled down the driveway and into the great beyond?
My first real bike was purple and had a banana seat and monkey bars, and my world expanded exponentially the moment I climbed aboard. I could pedal to the park, the convenience store and school. I’m still riding a bike today, 40 years later.
More than 800 Austin area kids will get that rush of freedom that a new bike brings this year, thanks to the JB and Sandy Morning Show on radio station Mix 94.7.
The DJs led a community-wide effort to raise money to give buy new Trek bicycles, helmets and locks for kids nominated by listeners.
The bikes get distributed on Friday, when the show broadcasts live at Mellow Johnny’s Bicycle Shop, 400 Nueces St.
It’s the 14th year of the promotion, which has raised more than $1 million.
