Bike giveaway to be held Saturday A program that was launched two years ago by Georgetown youth Hayden Downes-Mills after his bike was stolen has put 230 free bikes in the hands of area residents who wanted a bike but couldn't afford one. Through Hayden't Re-Bicycling Program, Hayden, his family and volunteers fix up donated bikes then give them away to those who need them. And this Saturday (June 16) from 8 a.m. to noon the program will be hosting another bike giveaway at 2 Cleaveholm Dr. (corner of Henry St. and Cleaveholm). There will be 35 bikes (adults and youth) available for free to anyone who wants one. It's wise to get there early as it's first come, first served.
