1 A. Youth under the age of 18 can earn bikes at no cost by coming to our shop during open hours, and asking to do a 'scholarship' bike. Our capacity for these earning opportunities is limited; we are currently asking folks to sign up for Scholarship bike opportunities. We encourage scholarship applicants to email info@openroadsbike.org to inquire about this opportunity. All participants must wear closed-toed shoes to be allowed in the shop space. 2 A. YES! Open Roads accepts bike donations on Thursday and Fridays, during open shop hours. 3 A. Appointments are not necessary for most fixes. Bring your bike down during open shop hours for a diagnosis and help with repair. 4 A. Earn-a-Bike programs are currently being run in coordination with CIS and Kalamazoo Public Schools. Ask your school counselor to find out if our program is coming to your school. 5 A. Open Roads accepts apprentice applications twice annually, with spring and fall deadlines.
