Bike Works Seattle

The Bike Works bike shop is but one way we recirculate old-but-still-good materials back into the Seattle Bicycle Ecosystem. We’re open every day but Wednesday.

Wanna build a bike like this? The recipe (by Mickey Buendia) is in our newsletter and on our blog, link in bio!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who was part of Bike Works’ 24th annual Bikecitement! Thank you for sharing your time, effort, love, and willingness to make BIKE WORKS IS FOREVER an unforgettable celebration of cycling, community, and inclusivity. Collectively, we raised $143,787. THANK YOU!!! As you can see in the photos above, the community really showed up and we are profoundly grateful.

While the party itself has concluded, the fundraising has not. You can help us get closer to our goal of $180,000 today. (Remember to mention Bikecitement in the gift note!) Your support helps us continue the work of reclaiming over 5000 landfill-bound bikes per year, giving hundreds of bikes to the community for free, maintaining a low-cost shop, and running youth and adult programs. It's not too late to give: https://givebutter.com/c/bikecitement2026

Huge shoutouts to our MC, Cyprus Richardson; our Volunteer of the Year, Martin Criminale; DJ dark wiley; Kae-Lin Wang for her incredible photos; Madres Kitchens; Synchronicity Events; Washington Hall; and all of our sponsors!

Thank you to all who were able to attend. Stay tuned for a photo recap on our website. Please fill out this feedback form so we can make the party even better next time. For those who couldn’t be there, we’ll catch you next time!

This week we received around 500 donated bikes and as cool as most of them are, we cannot fix them all. We cannot! But we can save them from the landfill- though we’ll need your help. This Saturday from 1-4 in South Seattle you’ll find vintage Kleins, titanium galore, and plenty of British steel. If you’re looking for that budget STP build or that shed-dust covered sleeper eagerly awaiting rebirth, look no further. Summer months are coming and industry experts are predicting a bike boom. If you’ve got bike plans slated for August, get ahead of the game this Saturday. Times a wasting, but we are not wasting anything!

Gas prices what they are and all, time to buy a perfectly sound as-is bike and kit it out with new-used componentry. Help us make room for more stuff! Saturday, April 4th from 1-4.
