I think third grade is about the youngest we can handle. These guys are rambunctious.

This was our first group of High Schoolers. They weren't quite sure about the program until they were about half way through. Then they were getting fired up about having their own bike. After about 8 sessions with only 2 to go, one kid said "I'll never have to walk anywhere again!". It was like a light bulb came on.

Opening day of the Fall session for the Learn & Earn Bike Shop. Kids are learning to disassemble, reassemble, tune and maintain bikes. Then they get to pick their new (used) bike off the wall, rebuild and tune it up. Then drive it home with a bike lock and helmet. They are loving it!

Our first graduating class. They were buzzing the parking lot all morning on their new bikes.

Today is the last day of the 7 week summer program. We will be at the bike shop from 12:00 to 1:00 and from 5:00 until getting things put back together. Thursday, we will present the reassembled bikes to the kids at our closing event.

This is my favorite photo. These guys stayed into the evening working on their bikes. The room was silent.

Step three - putting them back together.

Step two - full disassembly.

Step one - bath time

Before any kids.......
