Where the Rubber Hits the Road
This past March, Bike Works’ Bicycle Leaders, seven of our oldest and most
advanced youth, anxiously awaited their spring break; they were about to
embark on a new adventure with us with the weather unpredictable and
severe. On March 30, the passes were still closed and the Spring Leadership
Trip through Eastern Washington had to be drastically altered. Instead, the
young leaders would travel along the coast staying in yurts. But the content
of the trip remained the same: talking about aspects of leadership.
Michael was in fourth grade when he first learned of Bike Works, which was
right around the corner from his school. He enrolled in our Earn-a-Bike class.
To say Michael instantly excelled as a mechanic would be an exaggeration, but
he loved the class and found a place for himself at Bike Works. Soon, he was
showing up for every drop-in hour and BMX ride available. Staff jokingly
referred to the organization as “Mike Works”! Over the years, he continued
to attend everything he could, from the old Camp Freestyle to the Advanced
Mechanics class to the first ever Ride All Day (RAD) Camp.
ADVANCED BIKE TOURING: Reaching Greater Heights
MICHAEL: Biking for Life at Bike Works
At the time, Michael’s main interests were BMX and downhill mountain biking.
Long-distance riding was difficult for Michael, but he joined the Bike Works
group that was training for the Seattle to Portland (STP) group ride in 2005.
Michael struggled to keep up during the training rides and decided he wasn’t
ready for the STP after a particularly tough 60-mile ride. Still wanting to be
involved, he rode in the group’s STP support vehicle, acting as navigator and
support staff for his team.
Eventually a change of schools took Michael away from Bike Works. Michael
says it was his bike that brought him back. He had started commuting to school
on his BMX bike, and one day it just rode him back to us. When he returned
to Bike Works this year, he was a transformed cyclist! Fast and sleek, Michael
had expanded his cycling horizons to include road riding, commuting, racing,
and even urban fixed-gear riding. Michael dove back into Bike Works head first,
sharing his experience and enthusiasm with newer cyclists as a Bicycle Leader.
He acted as Youth Instructor in the R.I.D.E.S. Camp, participated in the sevenday Advanced Bike Touring Camp, and will soon be serving as a Bike Shop
apprentice. Something tells us he’ll have no trouble keeping up now.

This advanced ride would prepare the youth to instruct with us over the
summer or in future camps and tours. The weeklong journey was amazing.
From risk management, ride leading, conflict resolution, and social- and
environmental-justice issues to leave-no-trace ethics, facilitating activities, and
hands-on practice, everyone learned something along the way. Over the
summer, the youth used what they had learned as they took on “youth
instructor” roles at our camps.
Come August, we gathered back together for the final Advanced Bike Touring
trip—another challenging bike tour, this time around Hood Canal. During the
immensely rewarding trip, the youth applied and expanded on the themes of
the previous ride. One youth who used to struggle with long-distance riding
exclaimed:
“Remember when I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, all those hills’? They killed me! But
now I have an appreciation for the terrain. It’s all open and it’s so big and we’re
so small. Not many people realize that the world is super bigger than all of us.
Just riding, I felt great. I’d do it again. I wanted to keep going—I wanted to go
to California!”
The seven young Bicycle Leaders on this journey know that they will be the
ones carrying us into the future. Hopefully, after this experience, they go
forward with a little more insight and a greater hope for the world around
them. Bike Works creates a space for the young people in our programs to
grow and become leaders in their lives and communities.

2008 Program Highlights
EARN A BIKE:
Kids, Bikes, & Sweat Equity
Naïma came to Bike Works as a 9-year-old in 2003—the only girl in her
Earn-a-Bike class.Two years later, she joined our first All-Girl Earn-a-Bike class
as a mentor to the new girls. Now, at 15, she is still attending Earn-a-Bike
drop-in hours, riding bikes, and generally being a rock star. Over the years we
have watched Naïma grow—as a mechanic, a rider, and a role model. After
earning her first BMX bike at 9, she is excited now to explore BMX on a
“real” bike, practice tricks, and skill-build. As long as the bike matches the
cycling cap that she also earned, she’s happy. Thanks Naïma for holding down,
throwing down, and keeping your own in the land of boys; we’re proud to be
the place you come back to each year. Last year, 67 youth participated in our
Earn-a-Bike classes and 75 youth came to our drop-in hours; together they
logged over 2,917 hours of community service and helped Bike Works repair
and donate 137 bikes to families in need.
Community Partnerships
In 2008, Bike Works reached 139 youth through community partnerships
with six organizations and schools. One partner, Seattle Girls School (SGS),
empowers fifth- through eighth-grade girls to become leaders. Over 40
percent of students are girls of color, and 30 percent receive need-based
financial aid. Since 2003, Bike Works has partnered with SGS to teach
students the joys of bike repair. In 2005, with the help of a sixth-grade teacher
who raced bikes, a new type of partnership was born. Now, during the last
two months of school, Bike Works and the entire sixth-grade class (roughly
40 girls) train two hours each Friday to prepare for a year-end three-day
camping trip on Lopez Island. The pride is apparent as the group leaves the
ferry to ride to the campground. On day 2 they make a 25-mile loop around
the island—more miles than most of the girls have ever ridden before—and
stop at the local ice cream shop. By day 3, the girls feel like seasoned pros.
Every fall, it is inspiring for us to see these girls riding to school, excited to tell
us about their new bike gear: lights, locks, and helmets; in other words, true
bike commuters.
Starting in 2009, Bike Works is helping to incorporate new lessons into the
SGS sixth-grade curriculum. In class, students will explore bicycles as simple
machines, as well as the interaction between bikes and the human body when
we ride. To quote Susan B. Anthony: “The bicycle has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world.” Ride on girls!
We are powerful people!
—Darryl, age 13, at the top of a remote and
challenging hill along the Chief Sealth Trail
STREET BURNERS
Our youth-led bike club is dedicated to bike fun and community engagement
in any form the members democratically decide. On any given Saturday, you
may spot them jumping on BMX bikes, knocking the ball around bike-polo
courts, or creating bike art. One May morning, the club inaugurated the First
Annual Taco Truck Time Trial & Alley Cat South End Invitational! Strictly
speaking, the ride was not an alley cat or time trial. Five youth and three
instructors rode a 10-mile loop, visiting several taco trucks and competingnot on speed, but on eating capacity. The day’s winner, Nick, consumed three
tacos, two burritos, and one soda! Let’s just say the ride back was heavy and
slow. In 2008, 501 youth participated in 86 free activities and rode a total of
6,700 miles. See you at the taco truck!
R.I.D.E.S.
CAMP:
Ride, Investigate, Discover
the Environment & Society
BMX riding is extreme, mountain biking is intense, and bike touring is epic, but
urban cyclists have their fun every day, using the roads to commute and
explore! Bike Works’ RIDES camp combines street biking and mapping
activities in community bike rides. Campers engage the urban environment,
using maps to mark how far they have come and to chronicle what they have
found on the way. Each day, the riders tackle more and more challenging rides,
starting with a ride to Seward Park and finishing with one to West Seattle.
Campers develop as confident road riders, able to handle their own bikes safely
and work as a team navigating the streets and traffic with care. In 2008, Bike
Works offered five summer camps, including two riding camps and three
bicycle tours.
Bike Shop
Kim came to the Bike Works shop with a dilemma: she loved her bike, but as
she is missing parts of most of her fingers, the hand brakes were difficult for
her right hand and impossible for her left. The shop switched the rear wheel
for one with a brake that Kim can work with her feet. For extra safety, a single
brake lever now works both brakes from her right hand. By mounting the
lever facing Kim, she can engage the lever by pushing with her palm instead of
pulling with her fingers. Kim is thrilled! Last year in our bike shop, we served
6,994 customers, sold 602 refurbished bikes, sent 1,400 bicycles to villages in
Ghana and El Salvador, and recycled many tons of scrap metal!

2008 Program Highlights
EARN A BIKE:
Kids, Bikes, & Sweat Equity
Naïma came to Bike Works as a 9-year-old in 2003—the only girl in her
Earn-a-Bike class.Two years later, she joined our first All-Girl Earn-a-Bike class
as a mentor to the new girls. Now, at 15, she is still attending Earn-a-Bike
drop-in hours, riding bikes, and generally being a rock star. Over the years we
have watched Naïma grow—as a mechanic, a rider, and a role model. After
earning her first BMX bike at 9, she is excited now to explore BMX on a
“real” bike, practice tricks, and skill-build. As long as the bike matches the
cycling cap that she also earned, she’s happy. Thanks Naïma for holding down,
throwing down, and keeping your own in the land of boys; we’re proud to be
the place you come back to each year. Last year, 67 youth participated in our
Earn-a-Bike classes and 75 youth came to our drop-in hours; together they
logged over 2,917 hours of community service and helped Bike Works repair
and donate 137 bikes to families in need.
Community Partnerships
In 2008, Bike Works reached 139 youth through community partnerships
with six organizations and schools. One partner, Seattle Girls School (SGS),
empowers fifth- through eighth-grade girls to become leaders. Over 40
percent of students are girls of color, and 30 percent receive need-based
financial aid. Since 2003, Bike Works has partnered with SGS to teach
students the joys of bike repair. In 2005, with the help of a sixth-grade teacher
who raced bikes, a new type of partnership was born. Now, during the last
two months of school, Bike Works and the entire sixth-grade class (roughly
40 girls) train two hours each Friday to prepare for a year-end three-day
camping trip on Lopez Island. The pride is apparent as the group leaves the
ferry to ride to the campground. On day 2 they make a 25-mile loop around
the island—more miles than most of the girls have ever ridden before—and
stop at the local ice cream shop. By day 3, the girls feel like seasoned pros.
Every fall, it is inspiring for us to see these girls riding to school, excited to tell
us about their new bike gear: lights, locks, and helmets; in other words, true
bike commuters.
Starting in 2009, Bike Works is helping to incorporate new lessons into the
SGS sixth-grade curriculum. In class, students will explore bicycles as simple
machines, as well as the interaction between bikes and the human body when
we ride. To quote Susan B. Anthony: “The bicycle has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world.” Ride on girls!
We are powerful people!
—Darryl, age 13, at the top of a remote and
challenging hill along the Chief Sealth Trail
STREET BURNERS
Our youth-led bike club is dedicated to bike fun and community engagement
in any form the members democratically decide. On any given Saturday, you
may spot them jumping on BMX bikes, knocking the ball around bike-polo
courts, or creating bike art. One May morning, the club inaugurated the First
Annual Taco Truck Time Trial & Alley Cat South End Invitational! Strictly
speaking, the ride was not an alley cat or time trial. Five youth and three
instructors rode a 10-mile loop, visiting several taco trucks and competingnot on speed, but on eating capacity. The day’s winner, Nick, consumed three
tacos, two burritos, and one soda! Let’s just say the ride back was heavy and
slow. In 2008, 501 youth participated in 86 free activities and rode a total of
6,700 miles. See you at the taco truck!

CAMP:
Ride, Investigate, Discover
the Environment & Society
BMX riding is extreme, mountain biking is intense, and bike touring is epic, but
urban cyclists have their fun every day, using the roads to commute and
explore! Bike Works’ RIDES camp combines street biking and mapping
activities in community bike rides. Campers engage the urban environment,
using maps to mark how far they have come and to chronicle what they have
found on the way. Each day, the riders tackle more and more challenging rides,
starting with a ride to Seward Park and finishing with one to West Seattle.
Campers develop as confident road riders, able to handle their own bikes safely
and work as a team navigating the streets and traffic with care. In 2008, Bike
Works offered five summer camps, including two riding camps and three
bicycle tours.
Bike Shop
Kim came to the Bike Works shop with a dilemma: she loved her bike, but as
she is missing parts of most of her fingers, the hand brakes were difficult for
her right hand and impossible for her left. The shop switched the rear wheel
for one with a brake that Kim can work with her feet. For extra safety, a single
brake lever now works both brakes from her right hand. By mounting the
lever facing Kim, she can engage the lever by pushing with her palm instead of
pulling with her fingers. Kim is thrilled! Last year in our bike shop, we served
6,994 customers, sold 602 refurbished bikes, sent 1,400 bicycles to villages in
Ghana and El Salvador, and recycled many tons of scrap metal!

financial aid. Since 2003, Bike Works has partnered with SGS to teach
students the joys of bike repair. In 2005, with the help of a sixth-grade teacher
who raced bikes, a new type of partnership was born. Now, during the last
two months of school, Bike Works and the entire sixth-grade class (roughly
40 girls) train two hours each Friday to prepare for a year-end three-day
camping trip on Lopez Island. The pride is apparent as the group leaves the
ferry to ride to the campground. On day 2 they make a 25-mile loop around
the island—more miles than most of the girls have ever ridden before—and
stop at the local ice cream shop. By day 3, the girls feel like seasoned pros.
Every fall, it is inspiring for us to see these girls riding to school, excited to tell
us about their new bike gear: lights, locks, and helmets; in other words, true
bike commuters.
Starting in 2009, Bike Works is helping to incorporate new lessons into the
SGS sixth-grade curriculum. In class, students will explore bicycles as simple
machines, as well as the interaction between bikes and the human body when
we ride. To quote Susan B. Anthony: “The bicycle has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world.” Ride on girls!
We are powerful people!

challenging hill along the Chief Sealth Trail
STREET BURNERS
Our youth-led bike club is dedicated to bike fun and community engagement
in any form the members democratically decide. On any given Saturday, you
may spot them jumping on BMX bikes, knocking the ball around bike-polo
courts, or creating bike art. One May morning, the club inaugurated the First
Annual Taco Truck Time Trial & Alley Cat South End Invitational! Strictly
speaking, the ride was not an alley cat or time trial. Five youth and three
instructors rode a 10-mile loop, visiting several taco trucks and competingnot on speed, but on eating capacity. The day’s winner, Nick, consumed three
tacos, two burritos, and one soda! Let’s just say the ride back was heavy and
slow. In 2008, 501 youth participated in 86 free activities and rode a total of
6,700 miles. See you at the taco truck!

CAMP:
Ride, Investigate, Discover
the Environment & Society
BMX riding is extreme, mountain biking is intense, and bike touring is epic, but
urban cyclists have their fun every day, using the roads to commute and
explore! Bike Works’ RIDES camp combines street biking and mapping
activities in community bike rides. Campers engage the urban environment,
using maps to mark how far they have come and to chronicle what they have
found on the way. Each day, the riders tackle more and more challenging rides,
starting with a ride to Seward Park and finishing with one to West Seattle.
Campers develop as confident road riders, able to handle their own bikes safely
and work as a team navigating the streets and traffic with care. In 2008, Bike
Works offered five summer camps, including two riding camps and three
bicycle tours.
Bike Shop
Kim came to the Bike Works shop with a dilemma: she loved her bike, but as
she is missing parts of most of her fingers, the hand brakes were difficult for
her right hand and impossible for her left. The shop switched the rear wheel
for one with a brake that Kim can work with her feet. For extra safety, a single
brake lever now works both brakes from her right hand. By mounting the
lever facing Kim, she can engage the lever by pushing with her palm instead of
pulling with her fingers. Kim is thrilled! Last year in our bike shop, we served
6,994 customers, sold 602 refurbished bikes, sent 1,400 bicycles to villages in
Ghana and El Salvador, and recycled many tons of scrap metal!
