The Bearings Story.

Thirteen years ago, Tim and Becky O’Mara helped a little girl get a new bike when her old one broke down. That neighborly act of kindness sparked an idea and birthed Bearings Bike Works. Since that fall day in 2008, through the generous support of donors and friends, Bearings has impacted the lives of thousands of youth across the city of Atlanta through our earn-a-bike and skills development program.

Each student who walks through our doors is brimming with promise, just waiting for the right push to take off pedaling down their own productive path. We believe that by providing the right tools for youth to develop their work, life, and social skills, they will be better prepared for future success.

This important work is only possible through the generous support of friends just like you, and we welcome you to donate today and join the team impacting our city’s youth for the future!
