Because a bicycle to a teenager that's living a horrible life is a way for them to escape, to go get a job, go do something. instead of just walking around. I have a huge passion with this bike drive. I have a huge passion with, I used to buy kids' bikes all the time. It's because I'm giving them the ability to get away from what their environment is producing for them.

I'm giving them something, some motivation. Man, I used to buy skateboards all the time. We have a skate shop in Fayetteville, man, and they were so awesome. They would sell me boards at 50% off. And I'd go to the neighborhood and I'd give it to the kid. Or if there was a kid that we did a search warrant on that was traumatized, I'd go play basketball with them.

They were terrified of police. It's Massey Hills, one of the worst neighborhoods. And they were damn sure terrified. Dudes with beards and long hair.
