KINGSPORT â Ten Dobyns-Bennett High School students in the schoolâs Transition School to Work or TSW program each got a bicycle on Wednesday, thanks to a ongoing bike program at the East Tennessee State University Valleybrook campus.
Undergraduate Coordinator of Public Health and Director of Operations for Project EARTH Mike Stoots mid-day Wednesday continued an ongoing program of donating bikes otherwise destined for metal recycling to new owners. Most are donated by OmniSource in Johnson City, a metal recycling business.
Each student got to choose a bike of his or her liking and most gave them a spin in a parking lot adjacent to the Valleybrook building, off the Eastern Star Road Exit of Interstate 26.
