The Bicycle Kitchen

The Bicycle Kitchen is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our mission is to promote the bicycle as a fun, safe and accessible form of transportation, to foster healthy urban communities, and to provide a welcoming space to learn about building, maintaining and riding bicycles in Los Angeles. Our space offers tools, stands and parts while our volunteers provide guidance in bicycle building and repair. More than 45 of these volunteers—known as “Cooks”—work regular weekly shifts, logging more than 5,000 hours and serving as many as 10,000 clients annually.
