Onebyone Bike Hitches |
|
|
The Steel Yard is excited to share an exciting opportunity for you to support Weld To Work, a job-training program that gives under served young adults metalworking skills to make them more viable in our ever-changing job market. Weld To Work participants spend weeks in our shop, learning how to grind, cut, weld, and finish metal. While they're here, they work together as a team to fabricate Public Art Projects that get installed throughout Rhode Island. Participants also have the opportunity to express their creativity and make an individual bike hitch that shows off their skills; we're calling them onebyone racks. You can support Weld to Work by purchasing a onebyone bike rack for your home or business! If you have a sidewalk, we have a onebyone hitch for you. If you don't have a sidewalk, these would also be beautiful additions to your garden. Come down to the Steel Yard and browse over 30 different designs that we have in stock. All hitches are weather protected with either a galvanized or powder-coated surface for maximum durability, and come with all the installation hardware needed.
