Went completely out of their way and fixed my flat tire after they had been closed for almost half an hour, so I could work my Friday night delivery shift. God Bless every single soul here at working bikes!! They really do care about people.

Amaizing place that donates 6000+ bikes a year around the world. Lots of used bikes in good condition and supplies for sale to help the cause and, of course, a great place to donate bikes that need just a little work to keep on giving. Volunteers are welcome, check out their website

Great staff, volunteer-based. Great place to fix/buy bikes at a reasonable price. They are known for their outreach work in providing free bikes to kids and adults.

We require mask to be properly worn at all times inside the building. Our webstore has all of our warehoused bikes for pre-sale with in-store pick up. Our physical sales floor has unlisted bikes for sale too, and are available to test ride as well. No appointment needed during business hours to shop used parts and accessories. Volunteer opportunities are on the Volunteer Portal of our website under the Get Involved menu.
