Scott, leader/head mechanic of this organization is an excellent educator, who really encourages those without skills to learn and enjoy this project. While the stated purpose is to refurbish bikes to give to organizations and children who need them, it is clear that Scott makes it a goal to teach unskilled volunteers to work on bikes. You don't have to know bikes to feel like you are doing good work here and in the process, you WILL get to know more about bicycles! 5 star organization.
