BEYOND THE BIKE

In 2022, we began hosting weekly community suppers to connect with participants and their families on a deeper level. These suppers created opportunities to build meaningful relationships, helping kids and families connect to Bearings and to one another.

Through them, we were fortunate to get to know Kamelija and her mom Audinga, who came to Bearings two years ago hoping to find a fun after-school activity for Kamelija. They’ve found friendship and a sense of community at Bearings and Audinga says to them it’s “more than a bike shop.” As a single mother, Audinga is glad to have found a welcoming space where Kamelija is surrounded by caring adult mentors and peers. Hear their story in this video!
