some students in Bed-Stuy are gearing up for success
with a special elective that teaches them how to fix
and earn a bicycle using Brooklyn is only toys
Nick shows of what school at school at
Brooklyn Pathways to graduation
Chili's in high school hallways
would usually lend you in the principal's office but
Dion plus has this privilege
when you feel strong like mine

his
own hands reduce them how to fix them
A to Z from all the hubs brake
adjustment derailleur fixing anything
that needed to be done they overhauled
a bike these students at Brooklyn Pathways to graduation
putting in some real elbow grease off
to school at biking boot camp and he
the really cool pod they get to keep the finished
product sometimes
I'll go to work and
I was happy
about it because I was laid off so I made the right choice
I made it Spike the other bike program a collaboration
with the nonprofit recycle-a-bike
and the city's Department of Transportation and
students get that pic from dozens of donated
bikes from hybrids to Road Bikes mountain bikes
but some of the most important lesson
in this classroom don't come in a toolbox if
you choose them problem-solving skills it
also keeps them engaged

use English so then they're learning
are two bikes are learning tools in English
and that's what's cool at school
