Being the middle child in a family of five kids, Hunter Chamberlain gets a lot of love.

But not a lot of new stuff.

Today that wasn't the case.

Hunter was one of 15 Sault kids who received brand new bikes, helmets, locks and bells from Sault Ste. Marie Police Service and Tim Hortons.

They picked up their cool stuff today at the Police Service building on Second Line.

Tim Hortons Earn a Bike program, in partnership with police, gives kids the opportunity to earn a new bike that their families would not be able to buy for them.

The children, aged 9 to 14, completed 30 hours of community service by cleaning up local parks and schools or assisting a local community group.

They were selected by the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service, who coordinated the program and provided supervision.

Oh, and they had a lot of fun with it too.

"I really liked the GPS games," said Hunter.

He tells SooToday.com he broke his last bike trying to do tricks.

And he says this new one will not, never, ever, be used for trick riding.
