THE WASHINGTON POST – Someone stole Robbie Pruitt’s mountain bike off the rack of his Honda Odyssey in September.
Pruitt visited a local bicycle store in Ashburn, Virginia the next day only to find there were very few bikes in stock available to buy.
That’s when an idea hit him – the thief might have stolen the bike because they’re in short supply during the coronavirus pandemic.
What if the thief needed the bike to get to work? Pruitt, 44, wanted to help people who might be in such a predicament.
Pruitt, an assistant rector at the Church of the Holy Spirit in Leesburg, Virginia, posted on a private Loudoun County Facebook page that he’d fix anyone’s bicycle free.
