Barea continues Hurricane Maria relief effort by sending bikes to Puerto Rico

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea plays a game where assisting others is part of his job.

He’s doing the same thing off the court in a big way in his native Puerto Rico.

Ofo, the world’s leading station-free bike-sharing company, and the J.J. Barea Foundation, which offers economic assistance to non-profit entities in Puerto Rico, announced a partnership in support of Hurricane Maria recovery efforts on the island.

As part of this collaboration, ofo donated 600 bikes to be distributed throughout Puerto Rico, where public transportation is still severely limited and city infrastructures remain substantially damaged.
