Program accomplishments

  • IN OUR FLAGSHIP PROGRAM, EARN A BIKE, STUDENTS 9 AND OLDER TEAM UP WITH ADULT MENTORS FOR A COURSE ON BIKE MECHANICS AND SAFETY. STUDENTS PRACTICE COMMUNICATION, TEAMWORK, PERSEVERANCE, AND OTHER LIFE SKILLS WHILE WORKING ON THEIR BIKES. JUNIOR EARN A BIKE TEACHES SIMILAR LESSONS TO YOUNGER STUDENTS, WITH A SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL FOUNDATION. UPON COMPLETING THEIR COURSES, STUDENTS EARN THEIR REFURBISHED BIKE AND A NEW HELMET! IN 2024-25, 617 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN OUR BIKE MENTORING PROGRAMS; 94% EARN THEIR BIKES. OF STUDENTS WHO COMPLETED EARN A BIKE, 92% SAID THAT EARN A BIKE HELPED THEM LEARN THEY COULD DO THINGS THEY DIDN'T THINK THEY COULD DO BEFORE.
    Expenses $1,047,913
  • CYCLING AND DROP-IN: DROP-IN OFFERS TIME TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH MENTORS THROUGH PROJECTS, INCLUDING BIKE WORK AND STEAM ACTIVITIES. WE OFFER TRAIL, TRACK, ROAD, AND MOUNTAIN BIKE PROGRAMS THAT ALLOW STUDENTS TO BE ACTIVE AND SPEND TIME OUTDOORS WITH MENTORS. OUR MOUNTAIN BIKE TEAM COMPETES ACROSS THE STATE. IN 2025, TEENS HELPED TO UPDATE THE CITY'S CYCLING ORDINANCE. THEY COMPARED THE CITY ORDINANCE TO THE STATE'S CYCLING LAW, USED THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AS CYCLISTS IN THE CITY TO RECOMMEND UPDATES, AND THEN ROLLED TO CITY HALL AND PRESENTED THEIR FINDINGS TO COUNCIL. THE UPDATED ORDINANCE PASSED IN APRIL!
  • YOUTH LEADERSHIP: STUDENTS 12 AND OLDER CAN PARTICIPATE IN YOUTH LEADERSHIP SEMINARS ON COLLEGE, CAREERS, AND COMMUNITY. ONCE THEY TURN 14, STUDENTS CAN APPLY TO BECOME PAID YOUTH APPRENTICES, MENTORING YOUNGER STUDENTS WHILE LEARNING WORK SKILLS. "I HAVE BEEN COMING TO BIKE WORKS FOR 3 YEARS AND HAVE HELPED VOLUNTEER IN EARN A BIKE AND JR EARN A BIKE 3 TIMES EACH," FAYROUZ TELLS US. "I LOVE IT HERE BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE HAVE HELPED ME BECOME A BETTER VERSION OF MYSELF. I'M NOW LESS SHY, MORE OUTGOING, KINDER, AND JUST OVERALL A BETTER PERSON."
