I had posted several weeks ago about an NBC story on "2 wheelers for clunkers". Well, here's another NBC "Making a Difference" feature on bikes. It's definitely a "feel good" story. The girl is so happy on her bike.

That's a great story, thanks for sharing.

Have you ever heard of Bikes for the World? Check out their website:

It's amazing to see how a donated bike can make such a difference in peoples lives :)

That was a great story- I'm so glad you posted it. Thanks! :) I wish we would hear more stories like THAT on the news instead of who got murdered today. :rolleyes:

I completely agree, TriGirl. Those Making a Difference stories usually bring me close to tears.
