March 30th- April 5th Recap

For this week’s recap, we want to give a special shout out to the volunteers who joined us yesterday at Betty Wheeler Classical Junior Academy to provide free quick fixes, as we help their school community prepare to launch their bike bus this spring! We also have to give kudos to all 88 bike and computer students who joined us in the 10 different class sessions that took place, rain or shine. From not letting some light rain stop them from heading outdoors in some cases, to cheerfully trudging back indoors for inside learning in others, to even giving team presentations with their own bike safety tips to each other, these wonderful young people really impressed us and warmed our hearts all week.

March 23rd-29th Recap

We’re feeling especially proud of all of our bike and computer students this week as well as all of the BWorks staff and volunteers, parents, school teams and other caregivers who have worked together to make big things happen. From three Earn-A-Bike launches at elementary schools in north city, south city and Madison County, to lots of busy days and evenings at our Soulard retail shop, to lessons on everything from flat fixes to internet safety, our community impressed us on multiple levels all week! Happy Saturday, everyone!

March 16-22nd Recap

It’s Saturday, and about time for a recap of this busy, beautiful, breezy week…

On Monday and Tuesday, a group of 14 BWorks staff and volunteers retreated to Bentonville, Arkansas, to camp, bike and catch a quick rest before Spring.

We returned on Wednesday to jump across the Mississippi to launch our first-ever Earn-A-Bike class in Edwardsville in partnership with ACT! We are looking forward to even more Illinois partnerships this year.

Our retail shop reopened Thursday, even more classes got underway, and in the evening we welcomed back 23 BWorks alumni, family members and volunteers for our first alumni adventure of 2025 — to the St. Louis Wheel! (Big thanks to Great Rivers Greenway for partnering on this ride)

Today the shop is buzzing yet again with bike and computer students in four different classes, along with dedicated team members and customers.

That’s a wrap! Thanks for another great week, and enjoy this wonderful sunshine! 😎
