Meet Larry the Bike Man — a local legend in Rochester, NY, whose impact goes far beyond handlebars and spokes. For decades, Larry has been repairing, restoring, and donating bicycles to kids and adults across the city, giving the gift of mobility and freedom to those who need it most. Rain or shine, you’ll find him in his modest garage-turned-workshop, surrounded by tools, tires, and a heart full of generosity. Larry doesn’t do this for money or recognition — he does it because he believes everyone deserves a chance to ride. His mission is simple: get bikes into the hands of those who can’t afford them. But the truth is, he’s doing something much bigger — he’s building community, spreading kindness, and proving that one person can make a difference. Rochester is better because of Larry. His hands are always greasy, but his heart is always golden. Thank you, Larry the Bike Man, for every chain you’ve fixed, every smile you’ve sparked, and every life you’ve touched.
