A smiling man wearing headphones sits next to a microphone in the 3CR studio. he is wearing a black sweatshirt with "Dr Cranky's Bikes for kids" written on it.

Val and Faith are joined in the studio by Bart Sbeghen of Dr Cranky's, a community-based bike recycle program that aims to ensure all kids have access to a roadworthy bike. 

We all share our bike moments before taking a look at how Dr Cranky's came about, the problem Bart is trying to address, (250,000 Australian children don't have a bike!) and how Dr Cranky's has evolved since it started twelve years ago. 

Bart talks about the data the program has collected about the impact of their work, and their aspirations to scale Dr Cranky's so that even more children can expeience the *magic*!
