"Look at them as friends," said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Cynthia Dorsey.

PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — The Philly Pops teamed up with Comcast for their 5th annual Christmas in July bike giveaway on Wednesday morning.
The Comcast Center was decked out with Christmas trees and other decorations. Carolers, Santa Claus (donning summer apparel), and a quartet of trumpets greeted families. All 205 bikes were tagged for a specific child who is a member of a police, fire, or military family from the area. Before giving out the bikes, Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Cynthia Dorsey shared her fond memories of her bike, telling the kids they're more than just a toy.
"Look at them as friends," Dorsey said. "Look at them as tools that will take you from childhood into adulthood. They will keep you fit, they will keep you happy, they will keep you with friends. They will help you ride with families."
All these bikes are about to be given to kids of military, fire, and police thanks to @ThePhillyPops Christmas in July. More this afternoon on @KYWNewsradio pic.twitter.com/icFjJ0nc12
