Robert Crane closes up Bob's Bikes for Needy Kids
We have an update on a local man who spent more than a decade giving back to kids in Southern Nevada.
Robert Crane has officially cleared out his garage, the longtime home of his nonprofit Bob's Bikes for Needy Kids.
For 12 years, Bob repaired and gave away thousands of bikes to families in need, but after being diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer, he's now stepping back from the hands-on work.
He shared on Facebook, "I walked out to my garage this morning to have my coffee and when I entered and seen all the empty shelves and no bikes I sat and cried like a little baby. It’s so hard for me to get over doing what I love for the last 12yr. It’s going to take a while to heal a broken heart but I just want everyone to know I will definitely miss you all and especially the smiles on the children."
Alyssa Bethencourt has been following his story and spoke with him when he first considered closing his shop, a decision he didn't make easily.
