Freewheelin' Bikes Details
Freewheelin' Community Bikes (FCB) connects youth with skills for life over a shared passion for the bicycle. We envision a stronger, healthier, more connected city. One bike, one youth, one relationship at a time, we are transforming Indianapolis into a city where bikes provide access to better lives. We serve ages 10-18 in our educational programs, and young adults ages 16-22 in employment programs with a primary focus on under-resourced youth.We provide accessible bicycles and teach youth life and leadership skills that improve their physical and mental well-being. We believe in: The worth and gifts of each person to enrich the world; Bicycling as accessible transportation for recreation, employment, and healthy living; The importance of positive youth/adult mentorship; Empowering youth as leaders who give back to their communities; Lifelong learning, resiliency and persistence; Positive neighborhood and community connections; Making bicycling accessible and affordable; and, Being welcoming to people of all backgrounds, abilities, and incomes. FCB uses a continuum of programs to develop youth: 1. Earn-a-Bike: In our signature program, youth learn the values of problem-solving, self-motivation, safety, and 2. working together while learning to care for their earned bicycle. 2. Youth Apprenticeship: Youth refine employability skills and advanced bicycle mechanics while teaching entry-level classes, refurbishing bikes, and providing customer service. 3. Youth Cycling Team: Recreational and competitive cycling activities introduce youth to riding, safety, health and fitness skills.4. Open Shop: Practice self-sufficiency and learn advanced mechanics skills. Our retail store provides job opportunities and serves as a learning lab for older youth. It offers affordable bikes and service, and provides a retail anchor in an otherwise depressed neighborhood by attracting customers from the greater metro area, keeping earned revenue in the community.
