The Bike Farm is an all volunteer-run bicycle maintenance collective dedicated to every aspect of bicycle education, from safe commuting to repair.
Their mission is to provide a space where people can learn about the bicycle and build community around promoting sustainable transportation. “We strive to demystify the bicycle in order to impact the city in a healthy and positive way by offering space and help to repair your bike.”

New Avenues For Youth offers programs and services that empower homeless youth to exit street life, believing that every young person should have food, shelter, and access to education and job training.  The organization goes beyond meeting basic needs and offer programs that heal young lives and foster growth and independence—including a bicycle program and including bike locks on their wish list. Bikes are the most affordable transportation option for their kids.
