Bike Works

Home of the earn a bike program: a program that teaches neighborhood kids how to fix bicycles, and then coaches them as they put in hours fixing bikes in exchange for a bike of their own. That alone is a cool enough feature to make me want to take my business there. My experience has been limited to tune-ups and the occational small fix with these guys, and I have nothing but good things to say. They were extremly friendly, did a really good job, and were quite reasonably priced. Awesome. more

I am not a serious biker and wanted to get a decent bike to get started on. A friend pointed me in the direction of Bike Works a non-profit organization that sells bikes to support it's charitable activities of sending bikes abroad. The staff at bikeworks are very much into bikes and are a lot more knowledgeable than myself about them. They sold me a reconditioned Raleigh for a fair price and it's lasted me four years. It's not a big place and I don't remember there wasn't much selection. However, they did offer to contact me when something came in that fit my needs. One thing I really likes was while I was there two neighborhood kids and one adult came in needing some assistance and the staff took care of it right there on the spot. They were very cool about and you could tell the neighborhood kids came in a lot. more
