A bike is just the beginning
At Community Bike Works, there are so many fun ways to stay connected to mentors and friends. Once you're earning your bike, you can join us for rides on local trails, or join our mountain biking team. Youth leaders go on college visits and make their own films. Youth apprentices get paid to help in our bike shops!
