The Bike Rack Gives Specially Made Bike

Each year, Jim Carveth, owner of The Bike Rack, donates to the children of CEDARS. This year there was a special request from CEDARS: a bike for a double amputee.

Due to a tragic accident Lamonte is unable to do something most take for granted: walk. After months of searching for a bike to fit, Lamonte recently received the gift of mobility in the form of a specially-made bike.

Through a donation from Carveth, The Bike Rack, and Ambucs, Inc. - a non-profit organization dedicated to creating mobility and independence for people with disabilities- the eighth-grader received a new Amtryke recumbent bicycle.

"This is an incredible gift and opportunity for Lamonte to be able to play with the other kids in the neighborhood. I am so thankful for these wonderful people and how much they care about the well-being of children. Without CEDARS, Bike Rack and Ambucs this would not have been possible," said Tanzania Pillow, Lamonte's mother.
