About the Bike Kitchen
The Bike Kitchen is a cooperative, do-it-yourself bike repair shop. We provide all the tools and parts you need to fix or build a bicycle. Our staff of volunteer mechanics is available to give advice and answer questions.
Instead of charging a fee for services, the Bike Kitchen charges membership dues: either $5 a day, or $40 a year. Purchasing a membership gives you access to all the tools and parts in our inventory. If you're short on cash, you can earn a membership or parts by volunteering in the shop for a certain number of hours.
We're open to all women, transfolks, genderqueer folk, femmes, and other people who've had gender bias, homophobia, or transphobia keep them away from the wrenches!
You don't need to be a member to learn more. Watch our video, check out our photos, or just stop by during open hours and see what the Bike Kitchen is all about.
