Mission:

  • Our mission is to grow and empower an inclusive biking community through education and affordability.

Vision:

  • Affordability: Make safe, reliable bicycles more affordable for everyone.
  • Diversity: Foster diversity within the cycling community.
  • Education: Expand the availability of quality cycling education within the community.
  • Recreation: Promote cycling as a healthy and enjoyable activity.

We provide a non-profit, volunteer-run, educational workshop offering training and events to empower all levels of cyclists in building, maintaining, and embracing the fun of bicycles.

Services and community involvement

We support our community by getting more bikes back out in use and teaching new skills. Here’s a brief summary:

  • Full Service Bicycle Repair and Maintenance: Our retail shops provide traditional labor services and tuneups at reasonable prices.
  • Do-It-Yourself Bike Repair: Our frequent Do-It-Yourself (DIY) sessions are a great opportunity for you to finish a bike project at low cost and learn new mechanical skills. We provide tools and verbal assistance, and we offer used and new parts to help you finish your bike project. No experience is required. We ask for $15 an hour donation for DIY sessions. DIY hours are on Wednesdays 6pm-9pm at our 2111 Mt Vernon Ave location.
  • Used bicycles and parts sales: We sell refurbished affordable bicycles and used and new parts. Used parts start at $5.
  • Bicycle and Parts Recycling: We refurbish donated bicycles for sale at our retail stores. The proceeds help support our Community Outreach Programs. In return for donations, we offer charitable donation receipts for tax purposes.
  • Bicycle Maintenance Courses: Please see our classes page for details.
  • Community Outreach Programs: Please see about us for additional details of how we serve our community outside of our shop.
