Neighborhood Bike Works (NBW) is a nonprofit educational organization in West Philadelphia that seeks to increase opportunities for youth through bicycling. By completing a series of classes and fixing up used bikes donated by the community, students can earn a bike for themselves with a helmet and a lock. In addition to providing a positive activity for young people NBW introduces them to the fun, the health benefits, and the freedom that come with cycling in the city.

Notes: Dress for Mess! Dress in Layers!!
