'''Neighborhood Bike Works''' is a youth development organization in West, North and South Philadelphia serving neighborhood youth from 8 to 18. Our main shop is at St. Mary’s Church, 40th and Locust Walk, on the University of Pennsylvania campus. Our Haddington neighborhood shop is on Salford St around the corner from 60th and Vine, our North Philadelphia shop is on Susquehanna Ave at Broad, and our South Philly shop is on 5th Street at South Street. Since 1996 we have offered classes on bike repair and bike safety after school, on weekends, and in the summer. 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 we introduce them to the fun, the health benefits, and the freedom that come with cycling in the city.
