A bicycle is a big-ticket item that lands on holiday gift lists every year, but not every family can afford to fulfill that wish. For 45 years, Rick Case Bikes for Kids has been collecting gently used bicycles from the community that will be passed along to local children and teens who are yearning for a set of wheels. From October 1 until December 20, the community is encouraged to bring bikes they’re no longer riding to any Rick Case Automotive Group dealership.
The dealerships will ensure the bolts are tightened and the tires are inflated before distributing the bikes to children and teens at the Boys & Girls Clubs, Habitat for Humanity, Women in Distress and other local charitable organizations, churches, synagogues and schools. Since 1982, Rick Case Bikes for Kids has had an incredible impact on local communities by collecting more than 124,000 bikes in Georgia, Florida and Ohio from generous members of the community.
Bikes can be dropped off at the following Rick Case Automotive Group dealerships:
- Rick Case Hyundai/Genesis / 3180 Satellite Blvd. NW, Duluth
- Rick Case Kia / 3190 Satellite Blvd. NW, Duluth
- Audi Gwinnett / 3184 Satellite Blvd. NW, Duluth
- Rick Case Mazda / 2493 Pleasant Hill Road, Duluth
- Rick Case Hyundai/Genesis / 11446 Alpharetta Highway, Roswell
The dealerships are open seven days a week. Visit RickCase.com for specific hours.
