We'll be spending three hours on Saturday, May 5th from 11-3pm to plant an edible garden in our courtyard, pick up trash around our building, and organize NBW's heavily used shop space at 3939 Lancaster Ave. Will you help us? Inside our shop specifically, volunteers will strip donated bikes and sort used parts, learn to patch flats, restock Bike Church and Earn-A-Bike parts bins, process bike donations, and more. We will be serving hot dogs (vegan too), salad, and cool beverages to celebrate the new season.
With youth and community bicycle education programs running five days a week, it's a herculean task to keep our space tidy, safe, and usable. Volunteer support is crucial to keeping everything running smoothly!
Can't make it this time? Our regular Shape Up the Shop usually occurs the first Saturday of every month.

Mission Statement
The mission of Neighborhood Bike Works is to inspire youth and strengthen Philadelphia communities by providing equitable access to bicycling and bike repair through education, recreation, leadership and career-building opportunities.
Description
OUR WORK
We run a suite of youth and adult programs all designed to encourage more people to ride and maintain their bikes. Our work uses bikes to bring about positive change: personal growth, community building, and learning.
In addition to running year-round programs for youth, NBW also opens its space to adults and families. At our Community Bike Shop, we sell quality refurbished used bikes, new parts, and accessories. You can stop into the Community Bike Shop to test ride a refurbished bike or grab a new lock, helmet, or another accessory. For lifelong learners, we run Bike Church, a DIY bike shop and an Adult Bike Repair Class. All sales in our shop support our free and low-cost programs.
