Earn-A-Bike(for age 12 and up) at Bikes not Bombs!

[Chris of Health adVentures]

See http://www.bikesnotbombs.org/EarnABike for information about the
Earn-A-Bike Program at Bikes not Bombs... here's some highlights...

Earn yourself a bicycle (to keep) while learning how to fix it! We go
for fun bike rides, learn a lot of bike mechanics and bike safety, and
explore some environmental issues. You don't need any experience with
mechanics, and we've even had students who've never ridden a bike
before. Our instructors will work with you every step of the way to
make this fun and easy to learn. Our bike rides spend most of their
time on bike paths in the parks near us, and once everyone has learned
their skills we'll deal with riding on the street.

You pick out a bike (choose from mountain, road, or BMX bikes), we
teach you to rebuild it, and then you keep it! These courses are for
ages 12-18. We run Spring, Summer, and Fall courses for girls and
boys, and some courses will be Girls Only.

What is Earn a Bike? This is a pre-employment training program that
young people love and come to voluntarily! Earn-A-Bikers, age 12 and
up, each enter into a contract with us, selecting a bike that s/he
will rebuild, and agreeing to a "price" to be paid in hours worked at
the Center. One fifth of those hours are community service work, the
rest are spent studying bicycle safety and mechanics, and repairing
the bicycle.
