The Southern Nevada Bicycle Coalition on Wednesday donated 20 bicycles and helmets to needy students attending Bruner Elementary School in North Las Vegas.

Students were selected after writing a set of winning essays about the importance of healthy eating and physical activity, coalition spokeswoman Gina Traficant said. The bicycles were provided by NTT Data Services and the Ghisallo Cycling Initiative of Austin, Texas.
