HEY! We finally have a shop!

After all of these months, doing programming at schools and libraries and community centers and anywhere that would take us, we finally have our own place to call home. 


We've acquired 508 S. 5th Street and will be shaping the shop up over the next few weeks. Come and stop by this Friday the 25th from 5pm to 8pm. Have a look at the space, get an up close perspective of what work we need to have done, pop open a cold beverage with us to celebrate this awesome new step. 

Again, we're at 508 S. 5th Street (where the Wooden Shoe used to be, between South and Lombard on 5th). 

Special thanks to the South Street Headhouse District for opening the door for us! And extra extra special thanks to Tattooed Mom's for all of their support over these many months.

Congratulations to our first Earn A Bike class from Southwark School





Everyone at Neighborhood Bike Works South Philly is very very proud of all of our students from the Earn A Bike classes we held in partnership with United Communities at Southwark School.

Special thanks to Jesus Soto from United Communities and to our wonderful volunteers from NBW . Without the help of Anthony Gibilisco, Annie Ellerman-Priest, David Looby, Allen Hall, and Erin Boyd our class would not have been such fun and such a success. Also extra thanks to David Cicero Bevacqua, Program Director from the NBW West Philly who gave us such great support, encouragement, and guidance. We appreciate all of you.

Volunteers Needed for Fleisher Artspiration!



NBW SouthPhilly has the honor of being asked by Fleisher Art Memorial to help out with the creation of Scraper Bikes during their June 26th Artspiration. We're looking for anyone to come out and volunteer and help kids and adults in the community create some scraper bikes. Don't know what they are? Check out the links on the bottom.

If you've wanted to volunteer with us in the past, this is a great opportunity to get to know other NBW SouthPhilly volunteers and members of the larger South Philly community.
