Recycle-A-Bicycle http://www.recycleabicycle.org/ has been making earn-a-bike a reality since some of us was in training wheels! FWIW, New York is a difficult, difficult place to get things done in--which is to say that Karen's perennial successes should be inspiring for pretty much everyone living pretty much everywhere else doing pretty much anything. If she can get the NYC Department of Sanitation to support something besides catcalling and being corrupt, we should all feel like the sky's the limit with our own endeavors.

Hi, Over the years Recycle-A-Bicycle has received city grants from Dept of Health, Dept. of Education, Dept. of Sanitation, Dept of Community Development & Youth Services for Earn-A-Bike. It all links to building a relationship with people in city government who get what you do and will work to access the funding. When they can, they will.

Anyone receiving city or county funding to provide Learn-to-Ride or Earn-a-Bike classes? Could be classes for general public or classes for populations not well represented in biking.
thanks
