Two children riding bikes in the school yard is not a common sight, but occasionally you see it. When two students in the Kern County Superintendent of Schools’ (KCSOS) severely, orthopedically impaired class at the Harry E. Blair Learning Center in Bakersfield took an Aug. 24 playground ride, it was worth seeing. Both Savannah Allaniz (pictured) and Emma Bewley were the first in their class to test drive brand new Freedom Concepts bikes built specifically for those who are physically challenged. Presenting the bikes to the class were Jim Treanor and Walter Young, members of the non-profit Kern County Sheriff’s Mounted Posse, which each year gives away more than $25,000 to schools and charitable organizations. The posse’s generosity did not go unnoticed. Even without tough economic conditions, purchasing the bikes would have been nearly impossible because of the steep price tag. Together the cost was $7,800, and the posse donated the entire amount, so all the children in the class would have the chance to have fun while they learn to exercise their legs. More
