Mike Jones

Jones’ innovative teaching idea, “The Bike Shop,” is focused on providing bicycles to the youth and young adults in the community who often do not have access to safe bicycles. The mission of the program, run by Jones’ students, is to collect, repair and provide refurbished bikes to the shop’s participants and other children of low-income families. Jones will also partner with multiple community organizations, community members and local bike shops to not only provide bikes, but to launch bicycle safety classes, build safety equipment and organize monthly community bike rides, thus bringing students and the community together.
