Community raises money to purchase new bike for young man with autism

After Anchorage thieves stole an e-bike from a young man with autism, the father vented on social media, initiating an amazing community response.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Imagine this: you’ve been saving for an electric bicycle to commute to work with. You finally save up the money to purchase one at the local Costco. You race home and decide to take it out on a test drive because you’re so excited about the new wheels. You take a spin to your local mall and end up heading over to the goodwill store to go shopping, locking up the bike outside. About 10 minutes later, you come back out to find the lock is clipped and the brand new bike is gone.

“He hadn’t even had the bike for an hour, he drove up to the Goodwill, parked his bike in the lot, got his lock out, locked it up,” Ken Hagler, Logan’s dad, said. “Went inside and came back out — within 10 minutes, the bike is gone.” After hearing of the incident from his son, Ken took his frustrations to Facebook to do some venting.

It was only about an hour later when they received their first generous message and from there the support kept growing.
