About the Event
Six-Week-Long Earn-A-Bike Class at Six Mile Regional Library location in Granite City (no class on August 30)
Earn-A-Bike is a free, hands-on class that teaches basic bicycle maintenance and safety while fostering important life skills including communication, teamwork and responsibility to children ages 8 and up who are already able to ride on two wheels. After completing a consecutive series of six two-hour classes, participants earn a refurbished bicycle of their choosing, plus a brand-new helmet, light set and lock they take home on the last day.
Youth who commit to this series under the guidance of dedicated St. Louis BWorks instructors will meet at Six Mile Regional Library District's 2001 Delmar Ave branch in Granite City, Illinois, for six Saturday afternoons at 2 p.m. (with each class ending at 4 p.m.).
The first class meeting will be August 16, and graduation day (the final class, which includes a BWorks-guided "graduation ride" in the surrounding neighborhood on the students' newly earned bikes!) will be Saturday, September 27. Students must consistently attend the classes in order to earn their bike. (NOTE: There will be no bike class on August 30 during the Labor Day holiday weekend.)
Registration is required via this page, and the class is capped at 12 students total (and up to two children per family). After checking your calendar and ensuring your child(ren) can commit to all six weeks of the Saturday afternoon class, we hope you'll snag a spot!
BWorks' programs director (evie@bworks.org) will be in touch by early August to confirm your spot(s). You can also join the waitlist on this page if you find this series is already full!
