Worth: a non-profit that teaches 'at risk' children how to build classic bikes
« on: September 20, 2016, 10:00:36 PM »
I have no affiliation with this organization, or know much about them.  I just happened to stumble across their website tonight and love their concept.  What a great opportunity for these kids!

Im not sure how to help them out, but I figured I would post it up here and help spread the word.  It looks like they do custom builds for customers as well as build bikes and auction them off to raise money to cover the bills.

There is a similar group in seattle that builds a bike then sells it to fund their programs.
I love those kind of organizations.  But I was a boy scout so maybe Im biased.

My brother used to do the same thing at the Summit School in New Hampshire with motorcycles and bicycles I
and others would donate.
The school is now closed, but the kids (14-19 year olds) did learn something.

Talked, for a hour or so, with a guy at Rockerbox at Road America that does this around the Milwaukee area. They had three CB160's the kids built there racing. Awesome program. I gave him my info, hopefully he gets in touch when they start this year, and I'll send them free rear sets and such.
