    "Making a Difference" story on bikes

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    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 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.
