OKEECHOBEE — Bicycle Bob stopped by the Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office recently with some donations for the "Ride to Work" program. "Mr. Bob" strongly supports this program and runs a bicycle repair company in Okeechobee.
This program was started one day when one of the deputies spotted a young man walking in a BK uniform to work. When he stopped and asked if he needed a ride, the conversation turned to the young man walking everywhere because he couldn't afford a vehicle but lived six miles from his work.
The deputy went to the evidence custodian and found a bike that had been abandoned and cleared through the "hold" process. He found the young man the next day and gave him the bike.
