" re-CYCLE " Riding gear for kids

[slowride923]

Anyone have any used riding gear for kids? or adults....

I want to start a riding gear "re-CYCLE" program.

I'm sure alot of folks out there have some gear that their kids have outgrown or even some used stuff that you don't wear anymore. It's just collecting dust and in the way, right?

I want to gather this stuff up and post Mountain Trail Riders signs at all the local shops so if there is a kid out there (or adult) that needs some riding gear and can't get any (for what ever reason) we can get them the gear they need to ride safe...."re-CYCLE".

All we ask in return is when they are finished with it, out grow it, or just don't need it any longer.... "re-CYCLE".... GIVE it to someone who needs it or bring it back to a club member who can "re-CYCLE" it again.

Members, what do you think?

Don't want to knock any of the shops out of a sale on riding gear but consider this.....

There's this kid, who doesn't even have a bike, but thinks " those are the coolest boots that I have ever seen". So his dads friend gives him a pair of old riding boots that his son had outgrown. This kid wears them everywhere..... even sleeps in them (when Mom isn't looking).
Well, long story short, this kid finally gets his own dirtbike because of the fire started by his first pair of riding boots. And fast forward several years and this "kid" is still buying bikes and gear from his local shop for HIS children and someday grandchildren.....
