Weekly recap: May 16 to 22 The past seven days are a bit of a blur, and it’s good to stop and reflect on all the good effort by our students, teachers, mechanics, partners and supporters of all sorts. 🧵

What a great day today helping lead the @stlbworks.bsky.social / City Garden #bikebus! We have two more bike bus rides here in #STL next week before school's out, and my soundtrack is in need of a refresh. Got a song suggestion? Let me know! :) cc @coachbalto.bsky.social

A reminder that Wednesday is the annual ride of silence. It’s the annual ride that’s once again not happening in STL because of the ongoing silence by advocates to support victims of traffic violence opting instead to use victims.

What a day! 12 amazing BWorks youth, 5 awesome moms, 6 trustworthy river guides, 3 dedicated BWorks crew members -- that's what we call a successful pedal/paddle! We're so proud of this group of Earn-A-Bike alumni and family members and helpers for biking 10 miles up the riverfront today before...

It’s only Monday, so you can still see us Tuesday or Thursday, but FYI we are shutting down this weekend for a much earned 3 day weekend!

Congrats are in order for our Carondelet Park-based grads, who wrapped up six weeks of lessons last night with their graduation ride! This great group of students and teachers made the most of every spring evening in and around the park and now the students have taken home their bikes to keep! 1/2

To all our amazing supporters in Illinois! All month long we are collecting bikes with these great libraries and MCT!

Weekly recap: April 26 to May 2 For a week that started out rather stormy, it sure did turn into one full of springtime magic and a great start to National Bike Month, too! This past Monday our Oak Hill Elementary students met their chosen bikes for the very first time 1/X

I keep falling asleep sitting up (on the couch) tonight as we watch a show. Another wildly busy week and so much to celebrate. Proud of our @stlbworks.bsky.social team and students and partners.

Our latest group of Earn-A-Bike students at Bernard Long wrapped up a fantastic six weeks of effort today. We went for a ride around the neighborhood celebrating their accomplishments! Big thanks to the Joe Roberts Youth Club and the Agency for Community Transit for making this cohort possible. 😎

We just updated our classes page with more Earn-A-Computer, Learn-To-Ride and Earn-A-Bike options around the #STL area as we zoom toward summer! Find more info & the registration links at www.bworks.org/classes/ where we also list our upcoming alumni adventures that still have spots!

What a beautiful weekend for the Earth Day Festival in @forestparkforever.bsky.social! We're here all weekend, come say hi and check out our balance bike course! 🚲💙🌎

What a beautiful week to be celebrating Earth Day! Caring for the world around us is at the very heart of BWorks' mission and operations, and it's a great day to look at what those activities look like on a given day. Over the past 24 hours... 🧵

Sometimes we insist the @stlbworks.bsky.social kids learn to change out a bike inner tube with one hand, like this afternoon's crew at Hartford Public Library They did amazing! :)

We on occasion have to work with tears. Sometimes it's a skinned knee while learning to pedal or to give each other the right amount of space on a group ride. Sometimes it's a bike donor letting go of an old stead, or even a supporter remembering a loved one they lost. 1/2

Metal Monday at WUSTL with students from City Garden partnering with WUSTL design students to fabricate dream machines.

Every once in a while we do take a break and try to look backwards. Today in our memory of this date across the past 15 years; we donated a bunch of refurbished bikes, worked with many a student and even challenged some of our past candidates to some hard questions.

Give it up for our first Earn-A-Computer grads of 2026! 🎓 Mr. Tom and Mr. Erik led this great crew through six Tuesday evening sessions, and tonight each student chose a refurbished Linux computer to take home to keep! Sound like fun? We still have March spots: form.jotform.com/260185403855...
