Charlie’s Freewheels uses bicycles to support the development of empowered young leaders, and self-assured young cyclists.

What we do:

  • A Build-A-Bike participant at Charlie's FreeWheels is adjusting the derailleur hanger on the rear wheel of a bicycle that has been placed in a rack. The high depth of field means their hands are in sharp focus, but the background is blurred.

    Programming

    Our programming aims to connect youth to bikes and cycling education! Learn more about programs we offer, such as Build-A-Bike, Bike Scouts, and more!
