Worcester Earn-a-Bike
Bike Shop
We aim to provide a teaching environment that allows people of all ages to learn repair and maintenance skills specific to bicycles as well as more general skills, instilling confidence far beyond the bike stand. We operate as an open shop where anyone can come and volunteer in exchange for parts and skills to earn a bike or fix up their own bike. We try to keep a reasonable student-to-teacher ratio: please be aware that our space limitations will sometimes require us to ask that people come back later if we have reached our limit. Everyone ages 9 and up is welcome. Read more

Teach people how to make their own repairs, let people do volunteer work to earn repairs or new pieces

This organization delivers exactly what it promises: you can earn a free bicycle after volunteering shop hours. They also provide an opportunity to gain bicycle maintenance knowledge, learn safe bicycling practices, and offer a chance to meet your neighbors. They also have a large inventory of various bikes for sale if you need a bike and would rather donate money than time.

It's a great org! The adult volunteers help the kid volunteers learn how to fix bikes and in the process earn a bike of their own! My son enjoyed learning but also helping!

Good people! They can teach you or your kid everything you need to know about building and maintaining a bike. Kids that would not otherwise be able to afford a decent bike get great bikes, Adults down on their luck get reliable transportation.
