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.

Looking for Volunteers

DateFriday, January 6, 2012 at 6:06PM

These have been some slow weeks for bike news. 

Although, Charlie's Freewheels will be running soon.

For those of you who don't know: Charlie's Freewheels takes youth, mainly from Regent Park through the Pathways to Education program, let them choose a used bike that has been donated, and teach them to repair bikes by working on it. At the end of the program, the youth get to keep the bike!

This can't be done without help from the community.

We're looking for volunteers, people with either bike repair skills, or people interested in making delicious (and hopefully healthy) snacks for each session.

We will be holding girl's sessions on Mondays form 5:30 PM-8 PM, boy's sessions on Tuesdays from 5:30 PM-8 PM, and open youth sessions on Thursdays from 6 PM-8 PM. 

You can use the contact us form, email me at azam.charliesbikeshop@gmail.com, or drop us a call at (416) 546-2200
