Brody Hicks, a sophomore at Perry High School, is on a roll with a nonprofit he created this summer called Upcycle Cycles.
Hicks takes bicycles scrapped at the Lake County Solid Waste Landfill, refurbishes them and is donating them to people in need- particularly children.
“One of the teachers knew that I ran this and saw a big pile of bikes at our landfill,” Hicks said. “She went to me to see if I could do something with them.”“What I mainly focus on is just getting the bikes functional and ready to go… making sure the brakes are good, the derailleur, tires are filled,” Hicks said. “And so far, I've used no funds to fix them. I've done it totally with what I have scrapping from other bikes. But I hope to get some parts eventually.
