Successful WTB Benefit
On November 2nd, Friends of West Town Bikes celebrated and raised $900 in support of West Town, community cycling and youth programming. Special thanks to all the volunteers who provided delicious food and drink and the talented musicians in Purricane and the duo of Al & Drew. West Town Bikes would not be here without our community support, so thanks again!
West Town Bikes is a community bicycle learning workshop. WTB offers bicycle mechanics workshops, youth programs and special events to members of the community. WTB is also used as a creative workspace for special bicycle building, utilitarian human powered design, kinetic art, advocacy projects and all sorts of constructive creation.
WTB is proud to have become a hub of bicycle activity in Chicago!
