The cause outweighs one douche. Yes, like one of the other reviews I too was confronted with a similar person acting very rude.
But I decided to go towards the back and found an older gentlemen fixing bicycles. He seemed to be orchestrating the whole group volunteering in the back. He asked if I ne...

I had a great experience here. Keke helped me pick out my very first road bike and a year later I brought it in for some maintenance and I was pleasantly surprised to find her still working there. She was just as kind and gentle as she was the first time, especially with me being a beginner when it ...

No males allowed on Thursdays!

They ask for volunteers to help fix old bikes which they then sell. I know how to fix bikes so I showed up. The employees (all male) firmly turned me away, saying Thursdays are for females and trans people only. Never in my life have I been turned away from a volunt...

I bought my bike here two years ago, and I have used it almost every day since. I couldn't have found a better bike for less money anywhere else in the city, and I love knowing my purchase will fund their wonderful mission to bring bikes to deserving people all over the city.

Great place to get a good bike for a great price. The place is filled with great deals on bikes. The customer service is really great too. I was helped by Keke. She was very helpful and knowledgeable about the bikes. I will definitely be back for my other bike needs.

After browsing the store floor and finding what we liked, we approached the front desk and spoke with Kiki, who demonstrated a clear passion for biking. She was very helpful, fun...

Went in as a complete newb to the road bike world. Staff was crazy friendly, open, not judgemental. Hooked me up with great bike, threw on some new tires, and made sure everything was adjusted for my height. Great affordable price, half the starting price of other shops. Highly recommend checking th...

There's so many "cool" things about this place but I've been going here for years and every used bike I buy doesn't last me a year without a major issue occurring and the mechanics are all completely incompetent. I can't, in good faith, recommend this place to anyone for anything anymore.

I called working bikes on Sunday in hopes of finding my 2.5 year old girl a bike. Not only did they have a perfect sized bike for our daughter but the folks working there had it all ready, air in the tires and training wheels on before we arrived. The staff is truly helpful and you can tell they a...

When it comes to great service at a very low price this place is second to none ! I brought my bike in because of my brakes going out on me and my chain in bad condition. These guys were fast and efficient took them less than an hour to get me out of there. They also were polite and answered all of ...

Wonderful place. Got my first bike here and it changed the way I live. They really started me out with quality - I've had it for 8 years and with regular tune-ups, she's as good as ever. This old Trek Antelope has paid for itself a hundred times over. Go check out Working Bikes. Everyone I've ever p...

Using bicycles as almost a currency, they have volunteers fix them and ship them overseas, provide lightly used bikes for sale and to those in need of transportation to jobs, and train people how to fix them. Bicycles at the center of ways of helping people.

Kiki/Keke was with me for at least an hour trying to help me find the right bike for someone of my height. We must have gone through close to 10 bikes and she was super chill and understand...

Bought a green old school refurbished schwinn cruiser (with an air horn!) for a mere $140 and it's been turning heads on the daily. They're a busy shop, so bring your patience, but the bikes are just as awesome as their business model.

If you are into vintage bikes, they also have beautiful classic road bikes restored to perfect working condition. I came here looking for parts for a bike I'm building. I found two se...
