Local man refurbishes dozens of bikes for those in need
Most people enjoy their summers by soaking up the sun or taking road trips, but one Brazeau County man has committed his summer to repairing used bikes to give away to people in need.
Shannon Card has spent the past few weeks fixing up bikes that have been donated to him, from bicycles fit for a five year old to a 70 year old.
Card says it all started by going to the local dump one day, and noticed nearly half a dozen bikes sitting in the steel bin there.
“They were in good shape and some could have been rode that very day, and didn’t need to be in that bin. So I just decided that I should ask around so maybe I could refurbish some and distribute them to people who need them.”
