Question

Riding a bike is good exercise and great fun. But what do you do with your old bikes? American girl Nicole Basil has a wonderful answer to this question. She sets up Pedal Power — a charity (慈善团体) to collect (收集) old bikes and gives them to people who need them.

Nicole, 12, starts Pedal Power when she is only 8. She collects more than 250 bikes each year. Every November, Pedal Power holds a bike race to ask for more donations (捐赠品).

Nicole also gives bikes to students as prizes. Top students and hardworking students both get them. “Some kids aren’t as lucky as others, but they still do well in school,” she says. “And I think they should get a prize.”

A bicycle shop helps Nicole check (检查) every bike for the races. The owner says he is happy to help the charity. “This is just wonderful,” he says. “We need to learn from Nicole to help others.”
