Bearings Bike Works

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.
