The Original Scraper Bikes

This project will teach youth: bicycles safty rules, bicycle repair tips, and how to create, what we call a 'Scraper Bike'. We want to engage up to 250 youth between the ages of 12 and 24, with a positive outlet thats fun, educational, and promotes healthy lifestyles. The 'Scraper Bikes' has gotten 3 national press mentions such as: NPR, Current TV, and The Christan Science Monitor. We want to expand and enlighten young peoples perspective on life through fixing and riding bicycles. We set up a lot of events over the past few years to bring awarness of this grassroots movement. We plan on creating a sustainable, possitive, educational, and "Green" way of life in the inner city neighborhoods.
