Posted: Nov 27, 2007
Last year we organized cyclists in Operation Share The Ride and gave dozens of bikes away to kids for Christmas. You, as a member of pinkbike and as a member of the cycling community can be proud of doing something amazing for society.
This year we're going global. Join and support Operation Share The Ride.

That's so good of you guys. The kids were total luving it. Mad props
great, i was always fortunate enough to have a bike, cant live without one, great job, merry christmas
I love this kinda thinghs, that somethingh realy happnes, not like the politics, and if it's evolved with bikes even better!Cheers
i know this sounds mean but wouldn't they be able to give out more bikes if they used cheaper bikes not norcos.
You have a point, but these are quality bikes that should last for a long time. Please don't lose site of the project here folks and start talking about the type of bikes. The real point is that last year over 100 kids received bikes that they would not have other wise seen. It's about sharing the ride!
Norco is a big supporter of share the ride and in so, with special pricing, they enable us to maximize the amount of bikes we can purchase. This along with the volume that we are able to hit, makes this program a most effective way to giving back to society.
Where did you guys find out they are Norco bikes? If so, I hope they are being bought for COST with the donation money and not full retail.
We make sure that we get the best bang out of the buck. They price they are purchased for is much much better than retail which enables us to get more bikes to kids.
im sooo donating my next cheque... i will get everyone to donate some at work too!! and maybe we can even donate some bikes.... this is a great idea
