Variety Children's Charity of the Desert gave custom bikes to children with disabilities from five families in the Coachella Valley. A therapist fitted each bike. They cost about $2,500 apiece. Three siblings can now ride together. One girl received hers the day before her 8th birthday.
The bikes are built for the children who will ride them, not pulled off a regular shop rack.
