What is the Bike Kitchen?

The Bike Kitchen is a community bike shop run by LTBC volunteers. We collect donated bikes, repair them, and give them to community members who need one, working directly with local social service organizations to find the right people.

It is also a place to learn. At our monthly fix-up events, experienced volunteers will show you how to fix and maintain your own bike, and you will join a community of people who take care of bikes together and for each other.
