Transforming Our Community Programs
Our community-focused programs provide the practical training, mentoring, and confidence required to help diverse members of our community intergrate bicycling into their everyday life.
Programs at The Common Wheel
Earn A Bike
An after-school program where kids learn the basics of bicycle maintenance and safety through hands-on training experiences.
Holiday Bike Drive
Each year, we rescue and restore hundreds of sad, unused bikes from garages, basements, and sheds and gift them to kids who need them most.
Youth Bike Workshop
A weekly drop-in workshop for kids and teens to work fix and maintain their bikes in a structured, supervised, and fun environment.
Bikes For All
This program provides a reliable set of wheels to our underserved, refugee, and low-income neighbors, helping them meet their transportation needs.
Adult Mechanic Class
This two-day, hands-on workshop enables adults to learn the fundamentals of bike maintenance, while repairing bikes for our other programs.
Women On Wheels
Through this program, we offer classes, training, and special events that help women in our community feel good about hopping on a bike.
Queers & Gears
This program serves the LGBTQ+ community in partnership with the LGBTQ+ Coalition! Come together in a safe and affirming space where you can receive free guided repairs on your bicycle and 10% off of new parts and accessories. We’ll also hold space for discussion, and when the weather is nice we’ll go on a guided bike ride protected by TCW allies.
Join us on the 4th Thursday of each month from 5-7 PM at the Queen Street Community Center and Bike Shop!
