A bike drive held last weekend in Ladner turned out to be a big success.
"It was very successful. People were so generous," said Lisa Nykoluk, one of the organizers.
Over 100 bikes were dropped off last Saturday at the Sacred Heart School parking lot along with a handful of new helmets and over $100 to buy more bicycle helmets.
A steady stream of people came to give bikes, said Nykoluk.
"We'd go to sit down and, boom, there's another one."
Hollyburn Family Services will help get the bikes into the hands of children and youth in the Vancouver area that don't currently have access to them.
The group is partnered with Obsession Bikes, a bike store in North Vancouver that runs a Bikes for Tykes program. The business fixes up donated bikes and puts them back into the community.
"We had to recruit some more bike shops to help us out but everybody seems happy to help," said Nykoluk.
