Blackstone Bicycle Works, located in Chicago, IL, aims to empower youth through bicycle education, leadership, and life skills development. They achieve this by teaching bike mechanics, job skills, and life skills to individuals aged 8-18 through after-school and Earn-A-Bike programs.
Aside from youth education, Blackstone Bicycle Works actively engages and educates the local community while advocating for safer pedestrian infrastructure through their Open Shop programming. They offer a variety of activities, including group rides, community classes, and the opportunity for participants to earn their own bike through the Earn-A-Bike program.
Furthermore, Blackstone Bicycle Works hosts a Youth Cycling Club for ages 14-18, limited to 10 participants, where they learn advanced riding techniques, sports nutrition, bike mechanics, and competitive cycling. The organization also conducts group rides to various destinations during the summer and provides free community classes to enhance bike knowledge for cyclists of all levels.
