Meet the Houston man who gives out free bicycles

“Lifelong Houstonian and bicycle enthusiast Ferrell Surette has spent his entire 52 years in this city around bicycles. Five years ago, he found a way to make sure that kids in Houston could have that same chance.

Bicycles mean many things to many people. For a person in need of transportation a bicycle means freedom, maybe even employment opportunities. For some it’s a means to unlock parts of the city to that they otherwise wouldn’t be able to explore with a car. For others it’s a means of exercise, a way to commune with the road or a trail and sweat away the day’s stresses.”
