He is so well known around the central NC area, that the local governments bring him abandoned bikes from parks etc. His story has been published in local newspapers and one national publication, AARP I think. The last time I checked with him he's turned around something like 150-180 bikes to urban kids. There must be a special place in God's heart for him.
There is another one down in the Fayetteville, NC area
Moses Mathis also known as The Bicycle Man he has been doing it since the early 90's. According to the website they have donated over 10,000 bicycles since 1991. I know of several church youth groups in the area that have done it on a smaller scale of perhaps 15-30 bikes a year. I guess it is never ending....
