While driving down the street in his patrol car last month, one Florida cop heard a strange noise from beside him and was absolutely speechless when he turned his head and saw where it was coming from.
“I hear this noise on the side of me,” said Jacksonville police officer Terrance Hightower. When Hightower looked to the side of the road, he saw a man riding a bike with only one tire. The back tire had worn away so much that the metal rim was actually exposed to the ground. “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.”
Hightower was so shocked he actually stopped the cyclist, Alfonso Stacey, but knew he had to do something to help when he heard why the 61-year-old was riding the bike. “I have to do what I need to do to get things done in life and this is my transportation,” Stacey told Hightower. “I’ll get another tire or rim sooner or later.”
“He said little things like that mean a lot. That changed his perspective about people and believing in people,” Hightower said about Stacey, who was stunned that the officer was willing to spend his own money and time to help him. “You can do something small and minute and it means just as much as anything else.”
