In 2001 Officer Bob Myers was conducting a bicycle test for local 2nd grade students. A couple of the students were having difficulty with the test because they didn't have a bike at home to practice on. Officer Myers believed that all kids should have a bike and requested to donate unclaimed bikes to these kids. The local newspaper was informed of the story and published an article. Citizens began donating funds and new and used bikes for this new program. Funds have been used to purchase new bikes and accessories such as training wheels. Officers donate through this program approximately 15 bikes per year. If you know of any child in need of a bike or would like to donate to this program, contact PSO Robbin Sage at MPD at 734-8383.
