Musical Mondays: One More "Bicycle Race" – Turning Wheels For Kids

December 8, 2014|Erika Gardner|Life According to E, Music, Musical Mondays

Another year, another Big Bike Build! As has become our tradition my family participated in the annual Bike Build in San Jose. Volunteers come together to assemble more than 2500 bikes. Charities’ trucks line up to give the bikes to underprivileged kids at Christmas. It’s a wonderful day. Here are some shots of this year’s fun- and of course- you should read the original blog and learn all about Turning Wheels For Kids.
