Surrett takes partially damaged or old bikes and fixes them up to giveaway to those who may not otherwise have the means to get a bicycle.

Since he began, Surrett says he has given away more than 80 bicycles.

"If I can do that for a kid, that may be an inner city kid that needs to get away for a little bit. Here have a free bicycle. Go get on a magic carpet and go have fun," he said.
