The RUBEY Project (Recycling Used Bicycles by Educating Youth) has a mission to provide local youth (ages 7-14)with the education and skills needed to help them gain independence in the community. Participants learn how to repair, maintain, and construct used bicycles by practicing hands-on, minds-on activities with a variety of bicycle mechanics and advocates. Participation in the program qualifies them to receive a newly renovated bicycle, free bicycle helmet, and bicycle skills lessons. This is a no-cost program designed to benefit communities and the families that create them.
