Background

The Elmwood CYCLE project is an 8-week build-a-bike program at Elmwood High School. 12 students rebuild and refurbish two bikes from donated/recycled bicycles. Each student keeps one bike for his/her own use, and the other bike is donated to a worthy user. Each student also leaves with a lock and helmet, as well as the course manual and some instruction on safe biking. The students are learning a variety of skills, including looking after a shop and tools, and rebuilding and maintaining bicycles. Two 8-week programs (24 students) have occurred so far.
