PLAINFIELD, NJ – Dairy Queen in Plainfield is not only known for its delicious soft serve and ice cream cakes, it is quickly becoming known for its bicycle giveaways held several times a year. And as summer winds down with fall crisp weather on the horizon, there’s no better time to grab a bike, get outdoors, and enjoy pedaling around town.
Dairy Queen Owner Donna Albanese and her husband Rich “the Bike guy” have been holding this free event for years, and through 2018 approximately 2,700 bikes have been given away. Another 150 free bikes will be given to those in need who cannot otherwise afford to purchase a new bike on Saturday, August 24 at 8 a.m. Helmets will also be available.
These previously-owned bikes have been repaired and restored by Rich, and several volunteers assist on the day of the event. There is always a crowd, so families are encouraged to get there early as a line often forms.
The giveaway takes place in the parking lot of the Dairy Queen and The Coffee Box located at 1367 South Avenue. Additional parking is available in the adjacent shopping lot. The event will be held rain or shine.
The Coffee Box will be open at 7 a.m. for coffee, tea and breakfast treats.

Save money on books, school supplies and everything you want to enjoy college! Financial aid, back in the olden days meant grants, scholarships, work study jobs. Loans were part of the package, but since they are available, ‘common thought’ was it is not financial aid – it was however a low interest loan. If you’re dependent on your parents, and they are below a certain income, most colleges give you much monies to help you attend their school. The middle class student with 2 working parents pays much more for their child to attend school and that student often can’t get work study job on campus. Those jobs are limited to the kids with financial aid.
If you can, or your parents can, to lower your loan debt when you leave school, if you have any monies, try to pay at least the interest while you are in school. Many loans start adding interest the day they are used to pay for school. So a $10,000 loan becomes a $12,000 amount when you leave school (example each loan is different) If you pay the interest (example $25 per month) then the $10,000 loan is only $10,000 when you leave school.
