Humble beginningsA woman thanks Monica Hodgson (out of frame) for the new bike, shortly after receiving it free of charge from Shayne Hodgson (right). From 50 to 100, to eventually 200 and then more than 700 bikes, all given away for free. "It takes a lot of money and parts and a location to store them," said Monica Hodgson. Even London Walmart stores chip in, giving away the bikes they can't sell because of a flat tire or a broken chain. On Friday, the couple gave away five bikes to people living in poverty and invited CBC News to tag along.
