Twowheelview: /* Alberta */

The list below uses the criteria found in the old [[Bicycle Organization Organization Project]] for what constitutes a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_bike_shop community bike shop], namely:

* Non-profit bicycle organizations
* Bike shops that are accessible to people without money
* Shops that have an educational focus, teaching others how to fix bikes
* Shops that are volunteer run
* Organizations that ship bikes to communities in other countries.
* Shops that provide free or low-cost services to the community.
* Organizations that recycle bicycles and parts

'''Maps of Community Bicycle Organizations'''

''Please note: the maps are not synced with each other or the list on this page.'' Both maps are international.

Here is the current, open-collaboration [http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=215640192972316876618.0004a00c0210cf27fd36f&ll=36.173357,-105.644531&spn=43.727571,113.027344&z=3 '''Google map'''], entitled "Earth's Community Bicycle Organizations". It is probably more comprehensive for '''North America'''. The comments associated with the map contain information about the organization and management of the map and its list; you can edit the map to include, or correct, information for your local bike collectives.

Here is the [http://www.heureux-cyclage.org/Les-ateliers-velo-dans-le-monde.html?lang=en '''open street map,'''] which includes all French ateliers (workshops) and is probably more comprehensive for '''Europe'''. You can find more information about this map [http://www.heureux-cyclage.org/La-carte-de-L-Heureux-Cyclage-le.html?lang=en '''here'''.]

[http://www.re-cycle.org/Donate/Bike/Search '''Here'''] is a Re~Cycle's searchable map of UK bike re-use projects - bit more than on this site.

Here is [https://maps.google.it/maps/ms?msid=215162290849180613331.000487a42765863523b94&msa=0&ll=41.907387,12.514801&spn=0.402683,0.891953 '''the google map'''] for the People's bicycle workshops (ciclofficine popolari) of Rome.

== History ==

Rick and Tanya McFerrin founded TWV in 2000 after a two-year bicycle expedition around the world. Their experiences and perspectives on the world, as seen from the seat of a bike, created the basis for TWV.

TWV provides the opportunity for youth to learn about the environmental and community resources at home and abroad and to experience the rich diversity of our global community. The bicycle becomes a potent tool for delivering our future leaders to locations where social, cultural, and environmental differences may become fascinating contrasts, and at the same time allowing youth to participate on a personal level with peers and communities perhaps surprisingly similar to their own back home.

TWV believes that all youth should have the opportunity to expand their physical and cultural boundaries. There are many youth that are never exposed to what may provide the greatest source of learning - real life experiences that bring home valuable insights and logical steps for positive change.

== Services Offered ==

'''Earn a Bike:''' The Earn-a-Bike program uses the bike as a tool to develop leadership and teamwork skills as well as bike mechanic capabilities in youth ages 11-17. Each week participants come to program where they receive a healthy snack, play games and discuss the daily lessons in both character (community, leadership, self-esteem) and bike mechanics (fixing a tire, gear adjustments, chains, brakes etc). They have the opportunity to use tools and disassemble and reassemble bikes every week.

'''Bike Trips:''' Two Wheel View invites youth and adults, ages 14 and older to discover one of our amazing destinations - experiencing outdoor adventure, exploring new cultures, learning as you go.

As a part of the Two Wheel View bike trip experience, you will:
Volunteer in local and host community projects.
Prepare for the adventure through Two Wheel View’s unique pre-trip orientation sessions that includes bike mechanics, team building, and fun.
Discover new cultures and natural landscapes.
Stay connected after the trip through social media and events hosted by Two Wheel View.
TWV takes care of all the pre-trip preparation, travel arrangements, supervision, safety, accommodations, bicycles and meals. Our trip leaders are experienced in student travel, youth development and adventure-based education.
