Bike Works has been working for kids, bikes, and community since 1996, working to empower youth and make bicycling accessible and affordable for everyone. Our programs invest in young people and encourage bicycling as a clean and healthy transportation alternative.

Located in the heart of Columbia City, we are committed to working in institutionally-neglected neighborhoods in south Seattle that lack easily accessible community programs and safe public spaces. Through time-intensive after-school mentoring programs and innovative bike riding opportunities, we reach youth who are not usually attracted to traditional enrichment activities, and help them realize their own self-worth within a community that supports, encourages and strengthens them. We also have programs for adults to empower each of us to know how to fix and maintain our own bike, and to get bikes into the hands of those who couldn't otherwise afford one.

The Bike Works Bicycle Shop is committed to serving Seattle with affordable bicycle sales and professional service. We are a full-service repair shop that also sells quality used bikes and various bike parts and accessories. We want to be your local bike shop. We'll help you keep your old bike going, dial your bike in for a better fit, fix what's broken, or help you find a bike that fits both your dreams and your budget. 

Our Recycle & Reuse Department processes nearly 7,000 bikes every year that are donated to us by individuals, community groups, and through our partnership with Recology Cleanscapes. They sift through these bikes to identify which can be refurbished and sold in our shop, used in our youth & adult programs, given away to community members who wouldn't otherwise have access, stripped for parts, or responsibly recycled.

Bike Works is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization that relies on individual and donations + income from our bike shop. 100% of proceeds from the shop benefit our year-round youth and community programs.
