The objective of the Earn-A-Bike program is to:
- Get bicycles to individuals who may not have access to one
- To develop skills that will be beneficial to them in the future
Participation in our Earn-A-Bike program provides the opportunity for members of the east side community to receive training in bicycle safety, maintenance, and repair. Bikes in this program have been donated and refurbished. If you prefer a challenge and would like to learn advanced mechanics you can choose a bike that is still in need of some love and work with one of our mechanics during your hands-on shop time to get it safely ready to roll! Every participant who earns a bike will also receive a new bike helmet.
Requirements for the Earn-A-Bike program:
- Complete a bicycle safety workshop
- Complete a basic bike mechanics workshop
- Complete 2 hours of hands-on experience volunteering in the shop
NOTE: PARTICIPANTS UNDER THE AGE OF 14 MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT, AND UNDER 18 REQUIRES A PARENT’S PERMISSION IN WRITING.
