Last year students at Peabody Elementary School were surprised when Barry Bryant and Rickey Whittington, presented them with 500 new bikes. Barry operates Biking 4 Books and Rickey runs the R. Whittington Foundation. After the two were at a safety fair for Peabody Elementary, where they auctioned off 6 bikes, they realized just how much the children loved the bikes and wanted to give all the students their very own bike. You can learn more about this incredible story here!
