About the YMEN Bike Box site:
The North Lawndale Bike Box is a community space and place where residents can borrow bikes (free of charge), fix bikes, and even purchase bikes to help mobilize the village toward healthy lifestyles and community transportation access. The NL Bike Box is a partnership of many community organizations and managed by both the Young Men's Educational Network and Working Bikes.
