OutKickâs own Dan Dakich is giving back to his community in a big way.
Dakich and his wife, Leigh, have donated hundreds of bikes to Indianapolis kids in need. The program is known as Dakich Cycles for the City and is in partnership with Indiana Sports Corp.
âItâs a passion thing for my wife and I,â Dan Dakich told Indianapolis TV station WTRV. âBikes were that big in our lives.â
The Dakiches got the idea for the program after seeing three kids playing. Two of them were on bikes, while the third trailed behind them on foot, trying to keep up. They got a bike for the kid who was left without one, and that was just the beginning of what became Dakich Cycles for the City.
âWhen you do it once it is such an amazing thing, that youâre like, âHey, when can we do this again?’â the former college basketball player and coach said.
Earlier this month, the Dakiches handed out 31 new bicycles to kids in need. Each one also comes with a bike lock and a helmet.
The program has distributed more than 400 bikes since last year, and itâs clear that recipients are thrilled to get their new set of wheels.
âKids cry, kids jump on their bike and go a million miles an hour,â Dan Dakich said. âEven if theyâre shy, or even if theyâre overwhelmed, you can inside that theyâre so excited, and itâs the coolest thing ever; it really is.â
