Standing in front of the bike shop waiting for them to open a young black guy wandered up. He wanted to buy bike to get to work. We had a nice conversation. Think about it, this young guy wanted to work and he needed a simple device to get to work.
Not too long ago Kadizzle read in the NYT about how a bike could change the life of a person in Africa. The simple device could be life changing. Kadizzle never thought the same thing is true in this country. Just getting to work is a big deal. Think about how much a bike expands the area where you can work. What a pain in the ass to take a bus. The poor kid was going to try to buy the bike on payments. Kadizzle gave the kid some money to help buy the bike. We have a lot of easy ways to help people get ahead, but we just don't think about the simple solutions.
