An excellent program of theirs is youth earn a bike ,where a youth comes in chooses a donated bicycle and then services it under the supervision of a qualified mentor. It usually takes about 4 sessions for the bike to be gone through completely . After that time they are given a new helmet and can the take the bike home.

Sounds like a great program they have at Back Alley!
Hmmm...A 24-hour massive snowstorm ride. What's not to like?
