“We both could see his confidence for saying things like, I’ll fix your bike, or even using tools for other thing in the house. He had a different level of confidence after Kids Building Bikes”

ids Building Bikes® is a multi-session learn-and-earn program designed for students in 4th grade and up. Sessions take place in a variety of learning environments, including our mobile trailer and our in-house Building Bikes Lab.
Throughout the program, students explore bicycle history, learn to identify bike parts, and use real tools to maintain and assemble a bicycle. Along the way, they build essential lifelong skills such as perseverance, attention to detail, collaboration, and critical thinking.
The focus on mechanical competence provides each student with the skills to maintain their new bicycle after completing the course. This newly acquired self-sufficiency gives each graduate the confidence to use their bike for years to come—as a means of staying physically and mentally healthy while exploring their community, riding to school, and commuting to work.
By successfully completing the entirety of the program the students earn their very own brand-new bicycle, helmet, lock and a multitool.
During the program, participants gain lifelong skills such as problem-solving, attention to detail, collaboration, and perseverance. Before graduating, students also learn and practice how to follow the rules of the road, trails, greenways, and bike lanes they may encounter as they embark on the many adventures their new bicycle will take them on.
