Giving kids the chance to
dream more — and live more.

The St. Louis Bicycle Works Earn-a-Bike program aims to teach kids that they can set goals — and reach them. We believe that everyone deserves the chance to dream, and to follow those dreams, by challenging themselves, testing their abilities and reaching for more.

The Program

During this free program, kids attend a series of hands-on courses held one day a week for five weeks. They learn about bikes, including maintenance and safety, but the other lessons they learn are even more valuable. They learn to solve problems individually and as a group. They also learn a sense of responsibility — as students must attend every session to graduate. Upon graduation, kids receive their own bike, helmet, light and lock and participate in a group safety ride with adults and peers.

The Earn-a-Bike program is for children between 8 and 15 who can commit to attending class for six consecutive Saturdays. To enroll a child, complete our wait list enrollment form. The program is free!
