We’re glad to do it. It’s a great program. Bikes can be dropped off at the store too – that makes it pretty easy! Any bikes that are too rough to fix up we donate to the Fugees Family program out in Clarkston and they use them for parts. We take care of their bikes too -anything they can’t fix, we do it for them. Bicycle South is located at N. Decatur & Clairmont.

Thanks for your involvement Mr. Boykin! I second the call for larger bikes. I have a 5ft 4th grader who had a really hard time with the small bikes. I love the bike safety program. I feel so much better about him riding around town after this class. It is so wonderful and unique, truly Decatur.

Hi from Bicycle South.

Bikes with 20″ wheels are the best as the students are at the age and height where this size bike fits them the best. 16″ wheel bikes are really too small and we have plenty of those. On the other hand, we could use some 24″ wheel bikes as we’re looking to expand things and middle schoolers usually need the larger wheel size. We helped out with a Renfroe ride to Stone Mountain (and back) last month and needed some loaner bikes.

Thanks!

I know they are asking for 20″ bikes, but will they accept 16″ for the little ones?
