Saw a great video this morning at UrbanVelo, about Rahsaan Bahati and his Bahati Foundation. Shame we can't post videos here, but it's definitely worth following either link to watch if you're at all interested in a cyclist who's doing something great for kids who could otherwise go astray.

Rahsaan’s inspirational story connects with people from all walks of life as an example of how commitment, community and dedication can change lives. Growing up in Compton, California Rahsaan was exposed to the gangs, drugs and crime that proliferated his South Central Los Angeles neighborhood and he had to make hard choices at a young age. He could have easily fallen into the circumstances of his surroundings without the support of two loving parents along with the fateful combination of a teacher, an eraser, and classmate that would change his life forever...

...Through all of his accomplishments and success he never lost sight of how fortunate he was to have people support and foster his abilities. The Bahati Foundation has been a dream of his for many years and now he has the opportunity to help shape kids lives the way his was shaped. It is an opportunity to show kids in underprivileged areas that you don’t have to be relegated to a life of crime, gangs and drugs; they have the ability to accomplish their dreams.
