Biketopia Community Workshop

Biketopia Community Workshop is a nonprofit bike shop that offers community bicycle education services and employment and recreational opportunities to disadvantages youth.

Public Education: we open five days per week for community members to come in and use our equipment and expertise to learn how to work on their own bikes or take formal mechanics classes.

Youth Services: We train local youth to work on bikes and offer opportunities to participate in group rides and athletic training.

Bike Shop: we sell used bikes refurbished by our staff and youth and offer paid repair service for those who don't want to learn for themselves but do want to support a nonprofit community shop.
