All the cool kids are riding bikes these days. Just try walking in Williamsburg without getting hit by one. Lucky you, though, because:

On Saturday, August 18, from 12-3pm, we are having a bike sale at our LIC location at the corner of 46th avenue and 5th street.

This event is the final project with our Summer Youth Employment Program participants. Six kids have been working at Recycle-A-Bicycle in LIC for the last 7 weeks to learn basic bike mechanic skills. They have also gained job skills and earned bikes for themselves with extra volunteer hours. As part of their curriculum, they have repaired bicycles and organized all aspects of a street sale to learn about retail. This program is operated in partnership with Henry Street and Jacob Riis Settlement programs and funded by the City of New York Department of Youth and Community Development.
