Mission

Revolution Kids provides an outlet for at-risk youth to learn the skill of biker repair while doing community service and earning a bike for themselves. Partnering with the City of Annapolis Police Department, Transportation Department, and Recreation and Parks Department, the program engages youth in a constructive activity that leads to skill development, positive social engagement, and community service

Lesson 2: Brakes

When I walked into the bike shop this afternoon the group was well on their way to learning about brakes and how to install them on a bike. All 6 kids of the pilot program were present along with 2 volunteers and project managers:  Jennifer Bistrack and Corporal Craig Medley. Craig was leading the group in the finesse of working brakes and then making sure that each participant had a chance to put the knew knowledge to work on one of the 3 bikes that stand as part of a work station.  The group is really coming together and just devouring the wisdom that Craig imparts on them. As always the early success of this program is also due in part to our wonderful volunteers.
