Individuals and families can volunteer with Bike Works and use their sweat equity to earn refurbished parts (frames, wheels, etc.) and stand time to either build up a bike from scratch or repair their bike for free. Our goal with the Earn-A-Bike program is to increase bike ownership while celebrating our amazing volunteers all in one program. The Earn-A-Bike program is equivalent to approximately 4 volunteer hours. This is a fun, interactive experience where volunteers learn more about the Bike Works, workshop safety, basic commuter safety skills, the ABC's of bike maintenance, and get hands-on time-wrenching bikes. New parts (e.g. cables, housings, tubes, or brake pads) are not included in the Earn-A-Bike program.
