JOB SKILLS TRAINING:
More Than Just Bike Repair
Bike mechanics are about more than just the nuts and
bolts of a simple machine. Teaching mechanics also
teaches patience, communication, and leadership—
skill sets that are needed in today’s job market. Which
is why, this past spring, we launched a new Job Skills
Training (JST) program.
long-term pathway for youth to stay engaged as
students, mentors, employees, and valued community
members.
One graduate, Triston, described his first time
teaching bike repair: “It went from me sitting down
and listening to me doing the talking. It was cool. I
never did anything like that before. Usually I have
stage fright. Actually teaching someone about how to
do stuff…that was pretty crazy.”
In partnership with Interagency Academy—a network
of alternative Seattle Public Schools serving students
who have faced extraordinary challenges in their
lives—our first class took on eight students. For 11
weeks, these students learned the ropes of bike
mechanics, all the while acquiring the skills needed
to become responsible, valued employees in any job.
The class was a huge success.
Triston has been working down at the New Holly
housing development with the BikeMobile. It is his first
“real” job. Lots of kids have been coming by with their
bikes in need of some love every week. “If kids don’t
have any money, sometimes we won’t charge them.
We will have them help us do the work. They can
leave knowing something and we leave feeling good
about it because we helped out a kid who needed help
with his bike,” he explained.
Adrian, one of the students, loves to ride BMX but
had never worked on his bike before. “I liked how they
actually taught us hands-on work,” he said—a welcome
departure from what he’d thought of as school work.
Half of the original graduates were hired to work in our
new BikeMobile, and also assisted in teaching the next
group of JST students over the summer. Together,
the JST program and the BikeMobile provide a

graduating class
It’s incredible to see a transformation take place in
real time. Seeing these youth progress from students
to employees to mentors shows us that our program
is working. And for
students like Adrian and
Triston, they’re learning
that their skills can help
others and contribute to
a more just world.

Bike Shop:
From Volunteer to Shop Mechanic
Two years ago, Nikki was a novice bike
commuter at UW. Instead of writing a
final paper for class, her professor gave
her the option of doing some volunteer
work. She took that opportunity to
volunteer at Bike Works.

At first, she helped out in the office, but
really, Nikki wanted to learn bike repair.
She started coming to our Volunteer
Repair Parties, helping to fix bikes, and
learning bike repair herself. “When I walked into Bike Works, I felt like I was home.”

hours, picked out a bike, and
repaired it with the skills he
learned at Bike Works
Nikki advanced quickly. She started volunteering in the warehouse to support our
recycle and reuse efforts. Just as her mechanics skills were improving, a bike shop
customer service job opened up for the summer. Nikki applied and got the job!
“I am a much stronger individual now, especially biking ten miles each way to Bike
Works and then working on bikes all day. If I can do this, I can do anything,” she said.
Since last summer, Nikki has enthusiastically stepped into other roles, too. She cotaught our Bike Repair 101 classes for adults, and assisted in our new Job Skills
Training classes. We’re very proud of Nikki’s growth as a rider, as a mechanic, and as
part of the Bike Works family. Way to go, Nikki!

Each year, hundreds of
adult volunteers refurbish
bicycles, getting them back
on the road and into the
community!
Kids Bike-o-Rama:
Putting the “Cycle” in Bicycle
In our Earn-A-Bike classes, as well as our adult volunteer programs, youth and adults
learn bicycle mechanics while fixing up bikes that are then donated out to other
youth in need. Twice a year we give kids aged four to eight a bike and a helmet; we
call it the Kids Bike-o-Rama!
Our most recent Bike-o-Rama happened on the same day as our bike giveaway
program for adults called Bikes-for-All! A few families were able to get bikes for
both kids and parents!
RIDES Club:
Girls, Bikes, & Local Food
This past spring we
brought back our RIDES
Club (Ride, Investigate,
Discover the Environment
& Society) as an all-girls
session! This after-school
program focuses on
developing riding skills
while exploring topics like
sustainable transportation,
environmental justice, youth
leadership, and the values of giving back to your own community.
Five incredible girls made up this past RIDES Club. When asked what they wanted
to explore, they said they wanted to learn more about our relationship to food. So
we developed a curriculum for them that included visiting local community gardens,
markets, and produce stands by bike. All throughout, they grew into stronger, more
confident riders.
One of the girls reflected back to an instructor, “You know, you guys inspired me.
First I thought I’d try to ride to school for Bike to School Day ‘cause I didn’t think
I could actually ride there. Then my friends and I decided to try to ride to school
twice a month. Then I realized how easy it is and now I’m going to ride to school at
least twice a week.” Let’s hear it for the girls!
One parent said, “I just want to say thanks so much to you and all of the staff and
volunteers that made today a great day for us!! My son picked out a great Schwinn
bike, and I got to pick a bike as well. We just got back from our first ride together!”
Seeing kids on their new bikes sporting big smiles is super heartwarming on its own.
But it’s also incredible to watch our youth and adult volunteers give away the bikes
they’ve worked so hard to repair. Through volunteering, they’re strengthening their
connection to their community.
