Earn-A-Bike@BWorks | 6 p.m. Tuesdays April 8 to May 13

BWorks Earn-A-Bike is a free, hands-on class that teaches basic bicycle maintenance and safety while fostering important life skills including communication, teamwork and responsibility to children ages 8-17 who can already ride a bike. After completing a consecutive series of six (two-hour) classes, participants earn a refurbished bicycle and brand-new helmet, light set and lock.

Students who commit to this series will meet for six Tuesday evenings, beginning each week at 6 p.m. (with each class ending at 8 p.m.). The first class meeting is Tuesday, April 8, and graduation day (the final class, which includes a graduation ride on the students’ newly earned bikes!) will be Tuesday, May 13. Students must consistently attend the six classes to earn their bike.

This class series is headquartered at St. Louis BWorks, located in Soulard at 2414 Menard Street, St. Louis, MO 63104.

Requirements for this course:

1) To participate in this class, students must already be able to ride a bicycle comfortably on their own — without assistance or training wheels. (We regularly offer a separate course for students ages 8 to 17 who do not yet know how to ride a bike, called Learn-To-Ride. If your child cannot yet ride, please reach out to [email protected] so she can get you on our waitlist for that other course rather than this one.)

2) A parent/guardian must attend the first 15 minutes of the first of the six classes. We also limit each family to two registrants per session, and students must be between the ages of 8-17.
