Bike School
Every season, Bikes Not Bombs offers bike education and training programs. Please note that programs will only run in Jamaica Plain in Fall 2024.
What is Bike School?
Bike School is a series of classes that bring young people together for approximately five weeks to learn basic bike mechanics, refurbish donated bikes, learn safe urban riding, and earn a bike of their own. Throughout Bike School, students also learn to think critically about the systems that contribute to challenges they face every day.
Can I get a job after finishing Bike School?
Yes! Graduates of Bike School programs may also progress to paid Youth Apprenticeships and earn a job with Bikes Not Bombs.
