BIKEMOBILE
From spring through fall, the BikeMobile travels around the Seattle area, primarily visiting areas designated as “bike deserts”, where bike shops are few and far between. All repair services performed by the BikeMobile are available for free or on a sliding scale. Most bike parts are offered at cost and we have used parts to fit almost any budget.
Because systemic racism and inequality denies resources to members of marginalized communities, the BikeMobile was created to increase access for:
- Youth
- People from low-income households
- Black, Indigenous, People of Color
- Women, Trans, non-binary individuals
- Immigrants and Refugees
- People experiencing homelessness
- People with disabilities
- People dependent on their bike for daily transportation
If you are able, please make a donation to support this vital community service.
In order to support our mission-based work, the BikeMobile is also available “for hire” for special events.

Thanks to the @thenorthface Explore Fund for partnering with Bike Works to expand our bike education programs. In 2015, with their support, we launched the #BikeMobile to offer summer apprenticeship opportunities for youth and bring free and low-cost bike repair services to Southeast Seattle communities.
During the pandemic, the BikeMobile has been crucial to helping us adapt our community services while our regular programs have been on hold. Since April, the BikeMobile has provided free bike repair to hundreds of youth and adults. We even launched a series of small-group in-person bike education clinics for youth out of the back of the BikeMobile! #ExploreFund #bikes4all

All Bike Works operations will be CLOSED this Friday, 6/12 in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter Seattle-King County general strike (link in bio). We invite you to investigate what you can do to promote racial equity this Friday and everyday, whether it’s marching, volunteering, donating money, learning, or having hard conversations. #blacklivesmatterseattle #seattlegeneralstrike #seabikes #blm #bikeshop #werehaus #bikemobile
@SCTLCenter @EENewsUpdates @UPS @seattledot @wgiinspiredby @samstarrcycles @BLineDelivers @reeftechnology The "ecargobike" or #bikemobile is peanuts in situ: Process engineering, street infrastructure, multimodal urban containers, market distortions, and urban distribution centers are 10x more important to the #citymile - and yes, let's shift to #citymile not #finalmile SVP. 🙂
See our thank you note to our @kiva_us microloaners if it pleases you. Without them, Revolution would not have made it through this most roller coaster of all of our years providing #bikemobile goods & services to market. https://www.kiva.org/lend/1818439?minimal=false

@travis_robert They’re not the ones at fault. State govt, feds, “federal reserve” nationless bankers - all colluding to make lives of #bikemobile operators miserable here in the states.
