Girl's bike needs a home!
If you know of a little girl that needs a bike, this one is begging to be pedaled! Silver and purple, with a basket even!
Looks like I'll have a couple more girl's bikes in the garage this weekend.
Let me know if you know of a good home!

Why "Indy Bike Smiles"
In the fall of 2009 I decided I'd start seriously biking for my health. I was paying to go to the gym and not going because it felt like I had to. Biking is simply fun. I've lost weight, love riding (even in the winter) and every day can't wait for the next time I get to pedal.
At the same time, I've seen the joy on children's faces when they are riding. Is the same joy I'm experiencing, but without the baggage we all have as adults.
So in late 2010 I decided I'd find 3 or 4 children in my circle of acquaintances and provide them with bikes. Simple bikes that I've refurbished. I was able to put 4 kids on bikes in the fall, and the smiles warmed my heart.
If you have a bike you'd like to donate to this cause, or know a child that could use a bike but won't otherwise get to ride one, please let me know.
My goal in 2011 is to do the same for 10-12 kids. Maybe more. This is the start of that journey...
