A Central Texas Boy Scout wants to help kids in east Austin middle schools get more active.
Addison Cundiff partnered with the Yellow Bikes Project and Safe Routes to School to donate seven refurbished bicycles to Zavala Middle School.
While he hopes the donations will help kids get some exercise, Cundiff said he also wants everyone to have a chance to take a spin at cycling.
"There are some kids out there who've never ridden their bikes before, so I just thought it would be a good idea to give bikes to kids who never had a chance to ride," he said.
He plans to drop off more bikes at Zavala and Martin Middle School later this month.
Cundiff is working toward his Eagle Badge and becoming an Eagle Scout.
