NBW needs volunteers to promote the programs at the Endurance Sports Expo this weekend. This is a fun exhibition that I dare say a lot of our volunteers will be attending anyway. If the weather is bad it’s a good thing to do if you’re not willing to ride in the rain!
There will be dozens of bike and bike part manufacturers. To find out more about the event, check out the link below.

We need people to table for various shifts during this time. Please contact Norman Lazarus at normanlazarus@yahoo.com with the times you are available.
**The Penrose R.I.D.E. Class is taught at the Penrose School. Unlike our regular Earn a Bike classes, this course focuses only on riding skills. The first class will be held on Jan. 20 and will continue on Mondays & Wednesdays from 3pm – 4:30pm.
**The Martha Washington Go-Girl-Go Class is an all girls earn a bike class held at Martha Washington Elementary School. Only female volunteers are allowed! The class has already begun and is held on Mondays & Fridays from 4pm – 6pm.
**The Haddington Earn a Bike Class has already begun and still needs volunteers. Classes are held on Tuesdays & Thursdays from 4pm – 6pm.
If you’d like to volunteer or if you have any questions, send and email to volunteers@neighborhoodbikeworks.org.
In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Neighborhood Bike Works will celebrate MLK Day 2010 as an opportunity to work hard, make change and bring people together. This will be an all-day event held on Monday, January 18th, 2010 at our our three shops: 40th Street, Haddington and North Philadelphia/Temple.
Each year, Neighborhood Bike Works holds a Service Party on MLK Day to fix-up and organize its offices and bike shops while also reflecting on what the day stands for. This year, we are celebrating the 10th Anniversary of this event at the 40th Street Headquarters.
The Bicycle Club of Philadelphia and
REI are generously sponsoring the event. At 12:30PM at 40th st, REI will present Neighborhood Bike Works with a grant to support our Mountain Bike Club and Earn-a-Bike program.
Volunteers can sign up for one or both time slots:
10:00 am – 1:00 pm and/or 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Breakfast and lunch will be provided!
The time you’ll be spending with us on that day will be dedicated to overhauling our shops (multiple, fun, projects including painting signs, construction, sorting parts, and cleaning). To register for the event or to find out more, send an email to volunteers@neighborhoodbikeworks.org. Please include your full name, a telephone number where you can be reached and preference of time and place in the email. If you are registering more than one person please include this information for all of the individuals as well as their ages.
