We found a new symbiotic relationship. Webelos need to earn badges. One of them is the Handyman. Component of it - learning basic bicycle maintenance. Hmmm - I wonder if you could not just fix up your bikes, but find someone who had bikes that needed fixing up to help others with basic transportation?
Clark Martinson and I had seven boys from First Presbyterian Church (across from the MFA-H) learning basic bike parts (in a cool relay), cleaning them, fixing flats, and adjusting brakes. They prepped eight bikes that they are going to distribute to a charity addressing the needs of homelessness in the Houston region and report back the stories of where the bikes go.
So - if you have a Cub Scout Den, or Boy Scout Troop that might be interested in this, please feel free to reach out to us!
Pay it Forward,
David
