St. Louis BicycleWORKS Review

I'm not sure if any of you out there live in or close to St. Louis.  But this is a worth-while charity.  Maybe you have one like it in your city.  Many inner-city kids can't afford a new bike.  This place takes old bikes, fixes them up, and sells them cheap.  Sometimes you can stumble across a rare old bike that's been refurbished.

For those kids who want to learn about bicycle maintenance & safety, they even have a "Earn-A-Bike Kids Program".  How cool is that?  Copy & paste...

Earn-A-Bike classes are held throughout the year with most classes offered during the summer. The classes are designed to teach bicycle mechanics, maintenance, and safety. In addition to these hands-on skills, youth also learn responsibility and positive conflict resolution. Youth who successfully complete the program earn a bike and helmet. These youth are more confident, possess a greater sense of respect and respectability, and have a stronger desire to serve and improve their community. Volunteers are needed to assist in class room activities and/or Bicycle repair.

Got an old bike that you no longer need?  Donate it to a place like this.  You'll feel better.
