Bikes for Tikes 

HELP A CHILD GET THEIR FIRST SET OF WHEELS!

Many wonderful and adventurous childhood memories have taken place on
bicycles.  Let's work together to give children in our community an opportunity to
make memories that will last a lifetime.  Year after year, this project not only lifts a
child's spirit, but gives them a great outlet to be active.

The Rotary Club of Oyster Point is committed to promoting a healthy lifestyle to
help young children avoid inactivity and the health issues that come along with
it.  Bike riding increases the health of the heart, increases balance, and
strengthens the leg and abdominal muscles.  Our project provides new bicycles
to a target group of less fortunate children living in areas of the city with the
highest obesity rates.

The Bikes For Tikes program, a collaboration between the Rotary Club of Oyster
Point, Tidewater Friends of Foster Care, the Newport News Redevelopment and
Housing Authority, the Boys & Girls Club, and the Salvation Army is celebrating
its 18th year.  These groups help to identify and select children that qualify from
the areas in need.  The Village Bike Shop allows the club to purchase the bikes at
cost and offers space for the club volunteers to assemble and store the bikes
until delivery day.
