_ The 2018 Jack the Bike Man Ride:

This is our first ever Jack the Bike Man Ride! All proceeds of this ride help fund the various programs  of Jack the Bike Man, Inc. Jack the Bike Man, Inc. is a not for profit organization founded by Samuel H. “Jack” Hairston III in 2007 however Jack has been called Jack the Bike Man, since 1999. Throughout the year, Jack the Bike Man, Inc. gives away thousands of bikes to underprivileged kids, the homeless, men and women re-entering society from prison, recovering addicts in halfway houses and people living below the poverty line. For more than twenty years now Jack the Bike Man has fixed bikes and handed them out to needy children and adults in the area, especially around the holidays when Jack the Bike Man has its biggest bike give away of the year. All of this is possible only with the help of volunteers and contributions. 

The community’s need for bicycles is never-ending, as is the organization’s need for funding, volunteers and used bikes that technicians can overhaul. The popularity of the organization has grown and with it the costs. Jack the Bike Man drives all over Palm Beach County collecting bikes or donations of parts. That is why by registering and participating in our first ever Jack the Bike Man Ride is so important.
