When you think of Hells Angels, you probably imagine motorcycles roaring down the open road, their drivers covered in leather and tattoos.
But if there’s something they really like to do, it’s defying stereotypes. While they might like speeding along the highway, they also don’t mind stopping to help someone in need,especially if it’s kids looking for support.
And sometimes they’ll stop for days.
That’s what happened one Black Friday back in 2014, when a group of Hells Angels stood in line for five days to buy all the bikes at a local Walmart in Fresno, CA.
And we’re not talking motorcycles: we’re talking kids’ bicycles of all sizes and colors.
Black Friday is notorious for its long lines, but we doubt anyone would want to try and cut these guys in line. And not because they look tough, but because of the reason they were waiting.
The bikers brought all the bicycles toPoverello House, a community organization that helps families facing hunger, homelessness, and poverty.
The bicycles would be given as gifts to the children, who would otherwise never be able to have what for many of us is a childhood staple we take for granted. And it wasn’t a one-time thing either: this was the 16th year in a row that they donated toys.
In 2014, the bikers, who included Hells Angels members as well as people from other organizations, completely bought out Walmart’s stock of bicycles and gave them away, and maybe inspired a new generation of riders.
