The Bike Kitchen

EB

The one business in the whole city run by non-SOBs. Happy that something like this could exist. In a city where you every interaction means being squeezed for pennies and offered less, this place actually gives you something valuable.

Great place to learn more about bikes while fixing yours or helping other people fix theirs. The volunteers are SO helpful (thank you, Louis!) and very knowledgeable. People are kind are ready to help as long as you have patience to wait - it has a true community vibe. Huge selection of tools (can be used for free at the place) and used pieces (for very good prices). Please expect to be here working on your bike for at least 3 hours - especially if you need the volunteers' help as the place can get very crowded and more people also needs help. They also hold workshops for women and non-binary people which is super cool! Definitely coming back to learn and fix bikes 👩‍🔧

I can’t say enough good things about this place. Everyone is incredibly kind and eager to help you learn about your bike. I went on a recent Women/Trans/Fem night and learned so much about my bike’s breaks. Many thanks to the volunteers for being such patient teachers!

I've been here on at least 5 separate occasions now to fix various components of my two bicycles. The volunteers are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful; in the process of repairing my bikes I've learned a tremendous amount and had a lot of fun. If you've got the time to spare and are open to learning something new then this is by far the best way to get your bike fixed for the money.
