Bike Works' Student Riders hasn't added a story.
We are the students of Community Bike Works!
Community Bike Works means a lot to us:
"Bike Works is important for kids in Allentown because it's a way for kids to feel calm. They don't have to deal with the pandemic while they're having fun in different programs. I'm glad that Bike Works is still up and running because it's important for kids to stay active and connect with each other during this time."
- Eric, 17, Lead Youth Apprentice
"I need to ride. I want to ride. It's exercise, and it makes me happy."
-Chris, 17, Youth Apprentice
"My favorite thing to do at Bike Works is bike work, like scrapping old bikes. I like that it teaches you how to put things in place, what tools to use, and what situations you would use them in."
-Anaya, 10
"A lot of people come in to Bike Works and their bikes are broken, and they don't always know how to fix it. I like helping people out, and helping them learn how to work on bikes. Personally, I think it's good to have Bike Works around because it helps you meet new people and get along with new friends. It's fun when we ride with the people you meet here."
-Gabriel, 14
Our team is sponsored by the Lehigh Valley Health Network.
Every year, the Spin-a-Thon helps Bike Works raise money for the programs we love, and LVHN always helps to make it happen. Before COVID, we loved going to their gym downtown to ride in the Gear Up program! We miss going to the gym and riding on the spin bikes, and we can't wait to get back there once the pandemic is over.
Bike mentoring keeps spinning through COVID-19, and so do we.
Community Bike Works teaches life lessons through bicycles to the young people of Allentown and the Lehigh Valley who could benefit most. Through the Earn a Bike and Junior Earn a Bike programs, Bike Works connects students with mentors and lessons in bike mechanics and safety. At the end of the program, students earn their bike and a helmet, and are invited to take part in our afterschool and summer enrichment programs. You can learn more about their high-quality youth development programs and their impact here.
This year's Spin-a-Thon will take place virtually over 25 days! From September 20 to October 14, we're going to earn our miles wherever and whenever we please to raise money for bike mentoring programs.
Help us go for gold while supporting kids in our community!
