The Bike Kitchen teaches people of all ages and backgrounds how to repair bicycles. Through bike repair and bicycle-related projects, the Bike Kitchen promotes personal development and provides leadership opportunities. Operating as a cooperative shop, we provide affordable ways to acquire and maintain a bike, offer youth programs, encourage re-use and recycling, and work with community groups to get more people on bikes.

Since 2003

We’re one of the first community bike shops in the U.S., founded in 2003.

Volunteer-run

We are 100% volunteer-run and depend on the community’s generosity.
