The power of bikes to create good in the world is undeniable. Two-wheeled transportation is helping to shape everything from sustainable urban communities to international development. In Oakland, this is certainly the case, thanks to a movement called Scraper Bikes.

Led by Tyrone Stevenson Jr. — fondly referred to as Baby Champ — the Scraper Bike Movement “seeks to capture the creativity of youth living within dangerous communities. It gives them a positive outlet that is fun, educational, and promotes healthy lifestyles.”

Take some time to watch this video and see the kind of empowerment and inspiration that is fueling an entire community, all thanks to bikes.
