He certainly would not have thought of himself as a hero. But many people would say that “hero” is exactly the right word to describe Justin. Justin got started by buying a couple of old bikes at garage sales, just for the fun of fixing them up. When he discovered he enjoyed repairing them more than riding them, he gave them to a local boys home. At that point, Justin realized that he had stumbled on a project he could really believe in. He enjoyed both fixing up old bikes and the pleasure he could bring to those who didn’t know the joys of owning a bike. So Justin began his “great bicycle repair and give-­‐away project.” His project grew, and many people got involved. Over the next few years, he was able to rebuild and give away over two-­‐hundred old bikes.
