Kelly Beck, of Raleigh, NC, hopes the new Earn-a-Bike program at 1304 Bikes will bring order to the volunteer-ran community bike project in Raleigh, NC. The new program accesses each donated bike based on condition. More volunteer hours are required for bikes in better condition. After volunteering with cleaning and organizing for the given amount of hours, the volunteer can begin to work on the bicycle. After the bike is complete the volunteer can leave or stay and continue to volunteer. 1304 Bikes is located at Chamberlain and Mayview St.. and opens shop Sunday 1 to 5 p.m. and Thursday 6 to 9 p.m.

Charles Lottress, 45, of Raleigh, NC, checks if the gears are changing correctly Sunday afternoon at 1304 Bikes. Lottress is in roofing construction and uses his bike mainly for transportation to and from work.
