April 3, 5-8 p.m. - Thursday Night Youth Earn-A-Bike
As a new month begins, so does a new Thursday Youth Earn-A-Bike class. Youth EAB, consists of 4 structured sessions, begins the first Thursday of each month and gives students, aged 10-15, basic understanding of bike maintenance, safe riding skills and a bike of their own to keep.
In order to give participants personalized lessons, we keep our class size small and it fills up quickly, so we require registration in advance. Although prior bicycle mechanical skills are not necessary, students should be comfortable riding a two wheeled bike. Community Cycles provides all tools, working bikes and necessary materials. Youths can, however, work on their own bikes and donate the bike they build to a local charity.
Sign up for the April class online here.
