They ride them! There are several parks near the motel. Many of these children never had a bike in their Life. It was an incrediable thing to witness. Yes it is a small part of their lives, but very very important to know that people like Amber care and more importantly take the time to reach out to those less fortunate. By the way Amber and her friends Volunteer on a regular basis, they are incredible role models for these children. Thank You Amber. Paul Leon

I'm not saying that her heart isn't in the right place, I just think people need to understand the real needs of the people she is trying to help.

I hope they'll ride them. Keep in mind that 'homeless' doesn't mean 'no place to live'. By definition, they have to live somewhere. And now they'll have bikes too. Bikes can do a tremendous amount for one's self esteem. I'd say it's a pretty good fit for what the kids could use.

What will kids, who don't have a place to live do with bikes. Sounds like Amber is not thinking about what these kids need. But more about what makes her feel good.That's not charing charity.
