No no no. They are still donating the bikes to kids that need them, I've volunteered at some of their give aways and worked in their shop, its a great program! But some people donated old steel road bikes, something that kids in the projects can't really use. So John started a small program to trade their road bikes for adult mountain bikes. They were mostly old steel road bikes in serious need of repair. The nicer road bikes go to the Boston Bike School program. If you've got a decent adult 26" mountain bike kicking around, send Roll It Forward an email!
