Get started at Bike Works

In Junior Earn a Bike, 7-8 year-olds learn about reading, riding, and wrenching. At the end of 12 weeks, students earn their bike, a new helmet, and several books!

Earn a Bike connects kids ages 9-18 with lessons on bike mechanics and safety. After 12 weeks, students earn their refurbished bike and a new helmet!

Earn a Book students read stories and do homework with Cedar Crest College tutors. On a trip to a local bookstore, students pick books of their own!

Drop-In is open every weekday after school, and earlier on days there's no school. Come fix bikes, play games, have a healthy snack and hang with friends. 

 From April to November, students of all riding abilities ride together on Lehigh Valley trails, have lunch, and experience the joys of cycling! 

 Advanced cyclists can participate in track cycling at the Velodrome, long-distance road riding with the Lehigh Wheelmen, and mountain biking with  Lehigh Valley Interscholastic Cycling  

Once you're 12, you can apply to be a youth volunteer in Earn a Bike, helping new students learn bike skills. Youth volunteers who are 14 can apply to be a paid youth apprentice!

Teens can join our Youth Leadership seminars: Each fall focuses on college and careers, each spring project gets you involved in your community, and each summer is storytelling--like filmmaking!

Long-term Community Bike Works students are invited to participate in our one-on-one mentoring program, which offers support in academics, social and emotional skill-building, and basic needs.
