As director of Phoenix Bikes, an Arlington County-based youth development project, Dixon works with middle and high schoolers to teach them business skills while they learn how to fix and sell bikes.
How many bikes do you all fix each year?
We’ve recycled over 250 since we opened, which at this point is just
under two years. Most of those go to bike sales that we sell for an
average price of around $80 to people in the community, as well as
people all over D.C. since we’re the only official used bike shop. And
then a lot of them go to the kids, as well, that they earn through the
program.
It's a great program and their Bike Show was a lot of fun.
