2008 Bike Build, going for 600 Bikes this Year!



Merry Christmas everyone. Please watch the following video to see last years Bikes & Trikes for Tikes, Inc. Bike Build and also see how you can be a part of it this year. Forward this link to your friends and make this a very Merry Christmas for a child you don't know.

Clicking on this link will allow you to view the show in a larger format and provides more information; including a map to the build location, more photos and a panoramic view of all 500 bikes that were built last year.

The majority of the bikes will go to "Toys for Tots" run by USMC. But this year we will be holding some back to make sure that kids in our area, and in yours, are able to get a bike for Christmas. If you know of a family or a child that is in need and lives in the South Orlando area please call or email their information or just contact me so we can make it happen.

Your support is needed this year, things are tight and we need your help. Make this your company's office party, instead of getting that "white elephant" again this year. Knowing that you made a child have that same feeling you had on that Christmas morning you walked out and saw a new bike under the tree for you, it will make this Christmas even more special.

Bikes & Trikes for Tikes, Inc. is 501c3 corporation and 100% of all donations go to buy bikes. High School kids are welcome (or any age) and may receive community service hours. Lunch will be provided, but you may bring your special "pot luck" dish if you'd like to share.

Thank you for your time and effort in spreading the word about this wonderful effort of your neighbors and friends, making a difference for a child this Christmas. God Bless and Merry Christmas.

Bikes & Trikes for Tikes!




Please click on "details" to read more. Click on "menu" to see more pictures of past events.


It's that time again. Time to make smiles come to the faces of a lot of Children this Christmas. Last year, the Johnson Family, The Kiwanis Club of South Orlando, Variety Children's Charities, MSI Corp and other great organizations, individuals and families came together to create those smiles, 500 of them. Our "Bike Build" was quite the event, and believe it or not, with all the help from so many people we built all those bike is under 5 hours! And yes, they all worked!





We now have an opportunity to double our fun by reaching our goal of 1,000 bikes this year. The exponential growth of this effort, started by the Johnsons, is truly a miracle. We are looking for even more good people to come to our Bike Build and make a difference. Get your hands into it, it is easier than you think, in as little as 5 minutes you can put together a bike that will be the best gift a kid gets this Christmas. Bring yourself, your family, friends, or make it your company Christmas party. Give a gift of your time, and yes a little sweat, instead of pretending to have a good time at the company gift swap. Be a "Secret Santa" for someone that can still believe in him.


If you can't be at the Bike Build, Dec. 13th, then raising money or making a donation would be greatly appreciated. All are welcome!



God Bless you, and Merry Christmas!
