The Earn-a-Bike program is a five-to-six-week program where students ages 8-18 meet once a week for two hours a day with skilled Instructors. Students gain hands-on bike mechanic skills while learning social skills to help navigate their lives at home, in the classroom, and out in the community.

ROADS ExpectationsOne of the tools Open Roads uses is Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports. This is a model of teaching students appropriate behavior. Open Roads focuses on five simple ideas:
R – Respect: Show kindness to other people in the program. O – Own your actions: If you do something great or make a mistake, own it! A – Attitude counts: Stay positive while working on your bike. D – Discipline: Finish what you start. S – Safety: Always wear a helmet! |
SIGNUPS ARE CLOSED FOR THIS PROGRAM. PLEASE CHECK BACK IN JULY FOR LATE SUMMER PROGRAMS.
Starting June 18th, we will be hosting an Earn-a-Bike session at the Open Roads shop. This is a great opportunity for youth to learn basic bike mechanic skills, and earn a bike of their own at the end of the 5-week program. Space is extremely limited! We have 8 spots available for this program -- we would like to prioritize students that do not currently own a bike, or have grown out of their current bike. This sign-up will be first come, first served; folks that sign up but do not receive a spot in the program will be contacted privately to coordinate another time for their student to earn a bike. Students who sign up for this program will need to attend 4 out of 5 sessions, at a minimum, to earn their bike. Program time and dates: June 18th: 1-3pm June 25th: 1-3pm July 2nd: 1-3pm July 9th: 1-3pm July 16th: 1-3pm

F.A.Q.
Do students have to attend all of the sessions to earn their bike?
Answer: Students need to attend all sessions in order to earn their bike. Exceptions can be made by the instructors for exacerbating circumstances.
Do students need to bring anything to their Earn-a-Bike program sessions?
Answer: Students should wear or bring closed-toe shoes and will not be permitted to partake in program that day if they do not have closed-toe shoes. Please dress for the weather! We often play games and work outside, so jackets or long sleeves are encouraged October-April.
Can parents stay with their student for the program sessions?
Answer: We have a fantastic team of Instructors who are excited to work with your student! The staff to student ratio is 1:3, ensuring students get plenty of attention and support. If you are particularly concerned about your student's ability to thrive within a small group, please let us know and we will be happy to make accommodations that work for your child.
