Bearings Bike Works

A modern, arched garage with a motorcycle in the foreground sits under a bright blue sky, while in the background, a train travels across an elevated track above a canal with a similar arched structure in the foreground.

 

At Bearings Bike Works, urban youth in Atlanta discover their innate talents and develop them into meaningful skills by building bikes and engaging in bike-centric programming.

Bearings programs nurture personal development and reward youth by teaching kids how to build and fix bikes and giving them an opportunity to earn a bike of their own. This cycle of being rewarded for creating value for others is not only instrumental throughout their lives, but also key to a prosperous community. At Bearings, young people learn and grow through successful, research-based programs connected to bike building, riding, racing and related life and future employment skills.
