We first met Steven Garrett last year when he moved to Arizona from Chicago. He had just received a bike from The Second Chance Bike Drive but months later it went missing.
PHOENIX — It's the gift that keeps on giving. The Second Chance Bike Drive has helped so many people get reliable transportation, but it also provides more.
"I was excited because I had always liked to ride bikes, but hadn't had a bike in years...So when I got on it and started riding, it made me feel like a kid all over again," said Steven Garrett. He says his bike brings him joy."I like to be peaceful so when I get on a bike, I normally have my Bluetooth with me, I turn my music on and I ride."
Garrett says his bike helps him exercise and gives him a way to get around the city. We first met him last year when he moved to Arizona from Chicago. He had just received a bike from The Second Chance Bike Drive but months later it went missing. "The other bikes I had, someone took them, I guess they stole them, or they magically disappeared, I don't know," said Garrett. That's when Saint Vincent De Paul stepped in to help, giving him a new bike just three months ago. Now Garrett is able to get outside and hit the streets once again.
