WHAT WE DO

Young people come to BYKE Collective to learn mechanics and fix bicycles. When youth come to BYKE they can fix their own bicycles, or earn credit for parts/bikes by helping others, helping the shop, or on shop projects. Youth facilitate meetings everyday to discuss their goals, accomplishments and frustrations, as well as issues faced in and outside of the shop. We encourage ownership, accountability and appreciation.

Empower Bike Culture

BYKE is dedicated to empowering and uplifting bike culture. The way we bike should be celebrated.
