About the role

Bike New York seeks a Bike Path Training Assistant to assist in facilitating bicycle mechanic training for our Bike Path Training Program for formerly incarcerated New Yorkers. Through a 3-week training program at our Bike Lab at Industry City, the Bike Path program provides formerly incarcerated and justice-involved New Yorkers with the skills to become professional bicycle mechanics. Upon completion of the program, all graduates are guaranteed an interview with Motivate for available bicycle mechanic positions to maintain the New York City Citi Bike fleets. Trainees learn how to maintain both traditional human-powered bicycles and both models of Citi Bike (non-ebike and ebike). The standard bicycle that trainees learn to maintain and fix is ultimately theirs to keep.
