The St. Louis Post-Dispatch recently wrote about BicycleWORKS, a program to introduce bicycling to kids. After going through some tought times, BicycleWORKS and it companion program ByteWORKS are making a resurgence:
On the BicycleWORKS side of the organization, Patrick Van Der Tuin has taken over things. He's slowly but surely inflicting organization on the shop at the intersection of Thurman and Shenandoah avenues, where kids from the neighborhood and beyond come to take classes about bicycles, eventually earning their own free bikes from the stockpile of donated bikes that fills the basement. Volunteers clean and fix up the bikes, selling some to generate BWorks' only current income. |
