Awhhh, so very sweet. I had a pretty crummy day so this totally warmed my heart!

My roommate found a Schwinn in Bear Creek a few days after some flash flooding probably washed it down. I helped him rebuild it and we gave it to a friend who is at present, uninsured and unlicensed. She cried, I tried not to. All in all, a very cool thing.
