Phoenix Bikes

Phoenix Bikes’ mission is to educate youth, promote bicycling, and build community. Phoenix Bikes has supported local youth in the DC Metro area since 2007 – providing a safe, nurturing and educational environment that reinforces teamwork, hard work, and entrepreneurship through bike maintenance education programs. Since our launch, we have had the opportunity to engage over youth, with over 700 earning their own bikes so far. Local youth are invited to participate in bike refurbishment and retail operations as they contribute to the daily operations of the Phoenix Bikes shop in Barcroft Park, located in South Arlington, VA, leaving with tangible mechanic and business management skills as well as scores of other success skills for life.
