Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff helps build brand-new bikes for 25 children at East Lake YMCA

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Standing in the gymnasium of the East Lake YMCA on Monday morning, Atlanta Falcons General Manager Thomas Dimitroff prepared to advocate for one of his greatest passions: cycling.

Seated in front of Dimitroff were 25 children from the YMCA’s summer program who were listening to directions on how to build their very own bicycle; one that they would then take home and keep.

Partnering with the YMCA and Future Wheels, Dimitroff helped host this bicycle build day to give the local children an opportunity to learn about the positive benefits that cycling can have on their lives.
