Bicycle Donation to Gettysburg Law Enforcement Rangers
By Katie Lawhon, Gettysburg NMP Public Affairs Specialist
Holmes Cycling and Fitness, of Camp Hill, Pa. and Giant Bicycles presented Law Enforcement Rangers at Gettysburg National Military Park with a donation of three bicycles for use in patrolling the Gettysburg battlefield and the Eisenhower National Historic Site on March 24, 2009. The bikes will be used to improve visitor and resource protection. The donation also includes helmets, water bottles, back racks, and a car/trunk bicycle carrier.
Steve Silsley, of Holmes Cycling and Fitness, made the presentation of the three bicycles to Park Rangers Maria Brady, Doug Murphy, and John Sherman at a brief event held at the Pennsylvania Memorial on the Gettysburg battlefield. Brady, Murphy, and Sherman were more than happy to try them out, peddling up and down Hancock Avenue in the beautiful spring weather.
