Each youth mechanic has a unique story to tell and new ways to grow, the volunteers are so dedicated, and the staff never cease to amaze me with their sustained work ethic, skills, and kindness.<br /> Through Phoenix, I've met so many great people passionate about cycling and healthy communities, including the Honorable Walter Tejada, our Arlington County Board Chairman. I'm so appreciative of the new skills I've learned, and have gained a lot of new confidence when performing repairs and working with tools. Looking ahead, my goal is to keep learning new bike maintenance skills, so that I can contribute more to the bike-building efforts at the shop. Phoenix is always a reminder, for me, that teaching and learning so often go hand in hand, and that we can all contribute to building healthy communities.</p> http://www.phoenixbikes.org/en/node/47#comments Volunteer Wed, 23 Jul 2008 12:51:16 -0700 admin 47 at http://www.phoenixbikes.org http://www.phoenixbikes.org/en/node/147 <p>Phoenix bikes is an awesome community asset for kids and adults.</p> http://www.phoenixbikes.org/en/node/147#comments Volunteer Tue, 02 Sep 2008 06:52:21 -0700 admin 147 at http://www.phoenixbikes.org http://www.phoenixbikes.org/en/node/142 <p>Here's Matt with two amazing bikes he donated to the shop - one that he rode cross-country on!</p> http://www.phoenixbikes.org/en/node/142#comments Volunteer Wed, 27 Aug 2008 08:14:44 -0700 admin 142 at http://www.phoenixbikes.org http://www.phoenixbikes.org/en/node/123 http://www.phoenixbikes.org/en/node/123#comments Volunteer Tue, 19 Aug 2008 19:03:14 -0700 admin 123 at http://www.phoenixbikes.org http://www.phoenixbikes.org/en/node/121 http://www.phoenixbikes.org/en/node/121#comments Volunteer Tue, 19 Aug 2008 18:53:51 -0700 admin 121 at http://www.phoenixbikes.org http://www.phoenixbikes.org/en/node/119 <p>Lee joined Phoenix for its first summer and fall, then headed off to work in Indonesia, where he's still riding down very steep things.</p> http://www.phoenixbikes.org/en/node/119#comments Volunteer Tue, 19 Aug 2008 18:41:55 -0700 admin 119 at http://www.phoenixbikes.org http://www.phoenixbikes.org/en/node/45 <p>I walked past the bike shop when it first opened in early 2007. Shortly after that I bought from Phoenix Bikes my first bike after more than 10 years of not owning one. Along with the concept of a community bike shop, I am impressed with the mission of providing a program for youth leadership development. It's great that there's a place for young people to learn about bikes, earn a bike and have fun.</p> http://www.phoenixbikes.org/en/node/45#comments Volunteer Wed, 23 Jul 2008 12:48:42 -0700 admin 45 at http://www.phoenixbikes.org
