Many of the co-ops have an "earn-a-bike" program where the kids are students in a course to build a bike if their own. The addition of a training or competitive outlet for their use of the said bike would be a benefit to both programs (earn-a-bike and training).
What does everybody else think? Please "weigh in" here with your comments.
