Bike Works’ BikeMobile provides free and sliding-scale bike repair service in the community. 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
• Immigrants and refugees
• Women, trans, non-binary individuals
• People experiencing homelessness
• People with disabilities
• People dependent on their bike for daily transportation

Does this describe your experience? This service is for you! No questions asked. If you are able, we accept donations at bikeworks.org/donate.

If you can afford to pay for a repair at our bike shop in Columbia City, please make an appointment here.

Volunteer Repair Parties (VRP) are weekly bike repair parties for adults (age 18 and up). You do not need to be a skilled bike mechanic to help out. This is how most volunteers with Bike Works get their start.

We ask that new volunteers attend an orientation on the first Thursday or Sunday of the month. Check out the volunteer page to fill out a volunteer application, sign up for VRP, and learn about other volunteer opportunities.

We can’t wait to see you!

What is Open Shop?

A self-directed space for adults to use our tools and repair stands with the help of a professional mechanic. Open Shop is a friendly, safe, and non-judgmental environment to empower yourself to learn mechanics, help others, and build community! Fix that flat tire from last spring, or change your handlebars to a comfort bar for commuting. There is no better way to demystify your bike than taking a wrench to it yourself!

Who can use the space?

• Open Shop is for adults only (+18). Check out our Youth Programs for information about youth mechanics classes & volunteer opportunities.
• Masks required.
• First come, first served. Up to 4 people at a time.
• Any work performed on your bike during open shop is your responsibility.

How much does it cost?

• Pay what you can + parts.
• Suggested cost of $10-20/hour depending on level of assistance required.

Where is Open Shop?

Open Shop takes place in the heart of the Recycle & Reuse department, the Bike Works Warehouse. The Warehouse is located at 3715 S Hudson St. Seattle, WA 98118 – follow the driveway to the back of the building (park on the street and walk down the driveway or bike right on up to the front door).

Bike Works promotes the bicycle as a vehicle for change to empower youth and build resilient communities. To get involved, consider volunteering or taking a class!

It Saturday doesn’t fit with your schedule then check out another community resource just up the street from Bike Works – The Bikery! They are all about providing space for you to learn how to fix your bike yourself, just like Bike Works. Rad.

Come shop at the Warehouse! Members of the public are welcome to dig through bins and browse for as-is bikes, used parts, and accessories.

First come, first served, a two bike purchase limit, and a time limit depending on wait times.

The Warehouse is located down the driveway off of S Hudson St, with the Bike Works brick office building on the left side.
