Earn-A-Bike Co-op. 2017 Programs
The San Antonio Earn-A-Bike Co-op (EAB) is a volunteer-driven initiative with a mission to create equitable access to cycling by providing affordable bicycle maintenance, services, and education. We promote active and healthy living by increasing access to bicycles, promoting safe, bike-friendly environments, and empowering people with the knowledge to make a lifestyle out of cycling. These are some of our programs.
Earn-A-BikeEarn-A-Bike happens every month starting in February and with a break during the summer. The program allows participants to earn a bike through the process of building a community bike with the support of co-op volunteers.
This structured program takes four weeks to complete attending two, two hour sessions every week. 8 hours of hands-on instruction. This is the most fun and practical way to get your hands on a sweet ride. |

Cycling Without AgeWho we are
We - Cycling Without Age - aim to reach and improve the lives of elderly people making nursing homes a place of joy and continued mobility. We believe that life can and should be beautiful even if you’re close to a hundred years. What drives us We take elderly people out for a bicycle ride - through the city, to the water and the countryside. We break them free from social isolation. Make them smile. Bring back their memories. And let them be part of society again and thereby renew their appetite for life itself. We give them the right to wind in their hair. But it’s not only about the elderly people. It’s also about the volunteers. The pilots. Cycling Without Age is probably less about volunteering in the traditional sense of the word - and more about active citizenship. Citizenship driven by a desire to get involved and to make a real difference for someone. It’s about creating relationships between people. Read More |
