Who we are and what makes us different

Charlie's Freewheels is the only bicycle shop in the country providing employment, job training, and hope to young people. Our ten week program begins teaching basic bike mechanic skills by refurbishing a used bike. By the end these participants will have learnt bike safety skills, bike maintenance and be given the bike they worked on along with a lock and helmet. After graduation, we connect interested youth with paid cycling-related internship opportunities and involve them in determining the future direction of our organization.

Regardless, I won't judge you. 

Here's a list of don'ts in no particular order. It's not the full list though; you'll have to wait for more next week. The reason being is that this post is big enough as it is.
