<i>(Edoardo)[br]On youth-run-the-shop day,</i>

0:00:30.357,0:00:33.657
<i>the youth here can fully run the shop,[br]without any adults being there.</i>

0:00:33.817,0:00:35.697
My role is nothing,[br]which is awesome

0:00:35.697,0:00:37.677
because they really take ownership of it,

0:00:37.677,0:00:39.737
because they care about it greatly.

0:00:40.184,0:00:42.964
What I'm doing here is[br]I'm cleaning out the derailleur,

0:00:42.964,0:00:45.344
the jockey wheels--[br]so, the spinny things.

0:00:45.823,0:00:47.113
I'm 14.

0:00:47.353,0:00:49.893
<i>I ride my bike now to high school--</i>

0:00:49.893,0:00:53.323
<i>which I promoted to high school just now--</i>

0:00:53.323,0:00:54.993
<i>like, freshman year.</i>

0:00:55.231,0:00:57.221
I wouldn't join another program.

0:00:57.221,0:00:59.301
I think Phoenix best suits me.

0:00:59.785,0:01:04.555
<i>It taught me leadership skills,[br]so I can talk more in public.</i>

0:01:05.155,0:01:08.105
<i>I got to this point by my friend Noe,</i>

0:01:08.105,0:01:11.825
and he's actually the person[br]that's running the shop day today.

0:01:12.586,0:01:14.706
<i>(Noe)[br]Today is youth-run-the-shop day.</i>

0:01:14.706,0:01:18.006
We're not working[br]on any projects or truing wheels.

0:01:18.006,0:01:20.266
Just help out the kids and customers.

0:01:20.266,0:01:23.546
Do you want to be a mechanic today,[br]or do want to work with the youth?

0:01:24.477,0:01:26.817
<i>Every day, I'm a bike mechanic,</i>

0:01:26.817,0:01:29.457
<i>but I'm also a role model for everyone.</i>

0:01:30.232,0:01:31.822
<i>So for example, with Robel,</i>

0:01:31.822,0:01:33.992
when he first started the program,[br]he was shy.

0:01:33.992,0:01:36.952
<i>He was afraid of getting out[br]of his comfort zone.</i>

0:01:36.952,0:01:39.735
<i>That reminded me of me[br]when I first started out,</i>

0:01:39.735,0:01:41.465
because I was shy.

0:01:41.718,0:01:45.418
He's been a role model for me[br]since I've gone into the program.

0:01:45.884,0:01:47.224
<i>We get along.</i>

0:01:48.726,0:01:51.376
<i>(Noe)[br]I just met him like three years ago,</i>

0:01:51.376,0:01:53.116
<i>we used to play soccer.</i>

0:01:53.116,0:01:56.546
<i>And I told him about Phoenix Bikes,[br]and how you can get a free bike,</i>

0:01:56.546,0:01:58.786
<i>and I think that got him interested.</i>

0:01:59.917,0:02:02.327
-Yeah, yeah, yeah--cut, cut.[br]-(laughs)

0:02:02.327,0:02:04.367
No, this is not what happened.

0:02:04.367,0:02:06.397
-I never--[br]-I don't remember.

0:02:07.141,0:02:10.061
<i>(Robel) I usually have him[br]boss me around all the time.</i>

0:02:10.221,0:02:12.191
<i>Like, "do this, do that."</i>

0:02:12.441,0:02:14.411
<i>And if I don't agree with him,</i>

0:02:14.411,0:02:17.711
then he's going to be like,[br]"Well, I'm the manager of the shop today."

0:02:17.711,0:02:19.481
"This is youth-run-the-shop day."

0:02:19.481,0:02:21.601
And I'm like, "Okay."[br]-You're making that up.

0:02:22.277,0:02:26.037
<i>(Edoardo) I've seen Noe grow[br]in height and also as a person.</i>

0:02:26.387,0:02:28.263
<i>It's really cool to see him</i>

0:02:28.263,0:02:31.623
mentor Robel, and mentor[br]other youth through the program.

0:02:31.951,0:02:33.621
<i>(Robel)[br]I've learned from Noe.</i>

0:02:33.621,0:02:36.841
He taught me a different way[br]of looking at things, I guess.

0:02:37.023,0:02:40.053
<i>At the shop, I would always talk a lot.</i>

0:02:40.053,0:02:41.983
<i>I wouldn't be that productive.</i>

0:02:42.403,0:02:45.063
And then he taught me[br]how to be productive.

0:02:45.063,0:02:48.873
And I guess that's how[br]I'm doing sale bikes today,

0:02:48.873,0:02:51.223
and customer bikes today, I'm--

0:02:51.223,0:02:53.223
-Speaking here today.[br]-Speaking here today.

0:02:53.223,0:02:56.213
<i>If it wasn't for Noe,[br]I wouldn't be on camera right now.</i>

0:02:56.213,0:02:58.293
<i>It would be somebody[br]different right here,</i>

0:02:58.293,0:03:00.043
standing right next to Noe.

0:03:00.353,0:03:02.873
<i>(Noe)[br]As a kid, he was shy here.</i>

0:03:03.326,0:03:07.536
<i>He would be afraid to talk to people,</i>[br]<i>and lacked confidence with making friends.</i>

0:03:07.536,0:03:10.056
Now that he's in high school,[br]I know that experience,

0:03:10.056,0:03:12.726
and I can give him hints[br]and tips about that.

0:03:14.029,0:03:17.009
<i>(Edoardo)[br]Cycling brings a lot of people together.</i>

0:03:17.009,0:03:19.339
<i>It's a common bond,[br]it's a common interest.</i>

0:03:19.339,0:03:21.969
<i>Not a lot of these youth[br]would have the opportunity</i>

0:03:21.969,0:03:24.499
to learn from each other,[br]meet each other,

0:03:24.499,0:03:28.349
or even be friends, really,[br]outside of this environment.
