Bike Works

Description

• The mission of Bike Works is to build sustainable communities by educating youth and promoting bicycling. For fourteen years we have worked to empower youth, and make bicycling accessible to communities in Seattle. Bike Works reduces the barriers to participation due to cost, lack of bicycling knowledge and lack of neighborhood resources through our youth and adult programs and our community bike shop. Youth programs are the cornerstone of Bike Works. Our youth programs are designed to empower youth to be self-sufficient leaders and to build community through instruction in all aspects of bicycle riding and mechanics. Our youth programs serve 250 students annually, aged nine to seventeen. Bike Works is located in and primarily serves Southeast Seattle: Lake Washington to the Duwamish River, I-90 to Rainier Beach. Youth in our programs are as diverse as our neighborhood. By bringing together participants of diverse backgrounds we help foster relationships across divisions of socio-economic class and race. Because our programs are low or no cost and we offer the opportunity for youth to earn the equipment they need, the barriers to participation are very low. Moreover, the nature of our programming is ongoing, consistent, and long-term something youth can count on. The magic behind our programs is that youth love bicycles; our programs speak to their interests and hearts, and offer tangible rewards for their participation.
