Our Programs & Services

Work on your bike during a shift

If your bike needs help or you would like to build a bike from our donated frames and parts, visit us during our hours of operation (pro tip: call first to make sure we’re open). We’ll provide the guidance, tools, and parts (supply willing) to help you build, repair, and maintain your bike.

Workshops

We hold bike repair and maintenance workshops every now and then. We post our upcoming workshops on our website calendar, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Follow us on social media and check back on our website for information about future workshops.

Youth Bike Build

Our six week Youth Build-a-Bike program teaches 12-18 year-olds how to build and maintain bicycles – and participants earn a bicycle and helmet.

How you can support the Bicycle Kitchen!

Donate Bikes, Parts, or Funds

Your donations support your community

Donate used bikes and parts to help members of the community have access to clean transportation, help preserve our planet, and help keep our doors open. If you’d like to donate bikes or parts, just drop them off when we’re open. Tax donation receipts available.
