Kingsville students get new bike thanks to volunteers

KINGSVILLE, Tx — Some Kingsville second graders were all smiles today — and who wouldn't be happy after getting a free bicycle?

Wish for Wheels and 1PointFive (the direct air capture facility coming to Kingsville) gave away bikes for free bikes at Harvey Elementary on Thursday morning.

Many of these kids had never had a bike before, and the organizations saw this firsthand at the distribution last year.

"We're just really excited to get to come in and to continue to be a part of this community and to see the impact that a bicycle can have on a young kid's life, right? It's really the opportunity for freedom. And really, the opportunity to, you know, take your bike to your friend's house and have a little bit of autonomy throughout your day," said Trey Fournier.
