"For less than the price of a cup of coffee each day, you can help Marco, or another child like him, buy a real bicycle with an aluminum frame and steel chain links that won't come apart the moment he tries to pedal."

"He should be grateful. Rubber shortages is the reason he was born in the first place..."
