WELCOME TO THE SACRAMENTO BICYCLE KITCHEN

SBK-shopWThe Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen (SBK) is a community-centered bicycle shop serving the residents of Sacramento. The organization was formed in order to promote cycling as a low-cost, alternative form of transportation; enable self-sufficiency through knowledge of bicycle maintenance; and promote bicycle safety through education and classes.

SBK wants to improve bicycling in Sacramento by making bicycle maintenance, repair, and training more widely available to everyone, regardless of skill level. To this end, we provide the space, tools, and staff necessary to help patrons learn how to perform any bicycle repair need they may have, all in exchange for a minimal cash  daily membership fee. Besides running the bike shop, we also try to offer maintenance and safety classes as well as community outreach projects. Scroll down to our recent post to learn about any current offerings or events.

SBK relies on volunteers and donations to keep our doors open; visit our volunteer page for info on volunteer requirements and our donations page for the why, what, when, hows of donating!

Look for the Ivy

Look for the Ivy near the intersection of 20th & I streets!

SBK’s doors are open during shop hours to anyone who loves and respects bicycling and their fellow cyclists as much as we do!

Sacramento is one of the most diverse communities in the nation. SBK is an organization that is committed to creating an environment that is free from bigotry and hate. Discrimination will not be tolerated and we try hard to maintain an open and safe environment for all. If you encounter someone that goes against this policy, please bring it to one of the core volunteers’ attention.

March WTF Shift + Social!

This month’s WTF shift will be held Saturday March 21st from 10am – 12pm! Weather dependent, we will also be having a WTF social ride for some iced treats from 12-1pm. Meet at SBK at noon. Come hang!

SBK hosts once-a-month WTF shifts to build a knowledge-sharing community with anyone who identifies as transgender, femme, woman, genderqueer, nonbinary, etc. Bicycle shops and bicycle maintenance have traditionally been overwhelmingly dominated by (cis)males. This shift is to hold space for folks who do not fall into that demographic. It is our goal to help teach and offer a friendly and inclusive environment to those who have felt that they have been marginalized or intimidated by traditional biking spaces.

Bring your bike to Do-It-Yourself (DIY) repair and adjustments, meet our volunteer staff, ask questions, hang out, shop parts, test ride bikes, and hang with fellow cyclists! Our shop doors will be closed the day of, there will be a sign to use the gate to the left to enter. We look forward to seeing you!
