The impact of Larry Pelkey’s generosity is hard to measure. Would over 1200 local kids, and 300 adults be without a bicycle for having fun, getting to school, or getting to work?
With his kindness and love for his community, Pelkey has changed thousands of lives with a simple act.
Riding bikes with friends around the neighborhood or headed to the park is a part of American life that Pelkey has preserved for many. If you don’t have a bike, how could you enjoy that little freedom and means of travel ?
Many adults are have wheels thanks to the “Bikeman,” and his merry band of helpers. Would they still have a job without that bike to get to work ?
The impact has been real and has changed many lives, including Larry’s. He’s been recognized by the Mayor who called his efforts, “phenomenal and greatly beneficial to our community.”
