Upcoming Classes and Registration for BWorks
Nearly 700 BWorks students have graduated from one of our multi-week programs during 2025, and we’re looking forward to providing in-depth bike and computer education to even more youth across the St. Louis region in 2026! We update these registration listings (see below) every few weeks, so this is a great page to keep bookmarked to have the best chance of signing up as new sessions are announced.
You can also sign up for our waitlist here (to receive email alerts when spots open up). Have a question about our programs? Email evie@bworks.org and we’ll get back to you soon.
All of our classes are free for students! Please consider a donation to help us keep these programs going strong!

Alumni Adventures
We’ll be announcing here soon our first alumni bike rides of the 2026 calendar year soon! Thanks to everyone who joined us at this year’s 10 adventures, ranging from the Ferris wheel ride to the pumpkin patch, and across multiple rivers and states. We love riding with the BWorks village!
SOME BACKGROUND
Earn-A-Bike is our hands-on class for students ages 8-17 who can already ride a bike on their own. Over the course of six two-hour sessions with our dedicated instructors, students hone basic bike maintenance and safety skills. They earn a refurbished bike of their choosing plus a lock, lights and helmet upon successful completion of the course.
Earn-A-Computer introduces young people to the inner workings and possibilities of computers and the internet — all while getting set to take home a refurbished computer system at the end of six class sessions. Like our other offerings, this free course is geared for students ages 8-17. Each class session is an hour and a half long.
Learn-To-Ride courses, which are open to students ages 8-17, are geared for kids who haven’t yet had the opportunity to gain confidence on two wheels. St. Louis BWorks provides all needed materials and instructors to help students learn to balance and pedal (e.g. loaner bikes, plus helmets to keep). After successful completion of this four-week program, students can go on, if they wish, to enroll in an Earn-A-Bike class (and then earn a bike!).
LATEST HIGHLIGHTS
We continue to grow our Earn-A-Bike, Learn-To-Ride and Earn-A-Computer program offerings, as well as our alumni adventures and #bikebus efforts, both at our headquarters in Soulard and in partnership with schools and other community organizations all around the St. Louis region.
None of this would be possible without our dedicated volunteers, energetic staffers and generous donors. Have a question about our programs? Want to help assist with a youth series? Eager for resources to help spread the word to area families? We’d love to hear from you. Email evie@bworks.org!
P.S. We are regularly in need of more small adult-size bikes and 24-inch-wheeled bikes in particular, as well as bikes and computers of all types. Our students range in age from 8 to 17, and their heights and interests are just as diverse! Every single bike and computer they choose is one donated by a member of the local community and then beautifully fixed up by our team of staff and volunteers. Please keep those wonderful machines coming — by doing so, you are helping keep kids learning and exploring our shared world in joyful, sustainable ways!
