Pinkbike Operation Share The Ride

December 24, 2006

Published by radek


This Christmas we want to introduce you to Pinkbike's Operation Share the Ride. Don't know what Operation Share The Ride is? Don't worry, neither did we 2 days ago, but with the help of great friends and bikers we all made it something fantastic.

Check back in a few days when we'll show you video, photos, and explain how in 2 days we got 100 bikes, built them, and delivered them to kids in time for Christmas.

Check out some photos from the operation

Wow fantastic idea guys. It's even better that the kids will be able to use them right away since Calgary doesn't have any snow, toboggans would have been just plain cruel.

man this is why you guys are the best, its not the fact that you give the entire world the best website in the world allowing all of us to connect on a global level (just look at all the countries on the posts above, even though most are canadian) but your using it to give kids who might otherwise have nothing or very little something they can have that will bring them into a whole new world, even if its not ripping a train your giving them there first mode of transportation. you guys and girls really brought this christmas into perspective by doing that, huge reps, merry christmas

great idea, couldnt imagine how happy they all would of been lol. I also seen other sites set up donation funds for children help organizations where you were able to donate money. I was wondering maybe next year you guys could start a fund raiser, and if everyone chipped in atleast a dollar, pinkbike could raise a descent ammount. Just an idea i thought id pass by

This is a great example of what we should all be doing for others. I admit that I've done nothing this winter to help others (other than donating a bunch of my daughters old toys to other kids) and love to see positive stories about people in our community. Thanks Pinkbike for setting a great example for all the other corporations out there! Hopefully we all follow!
