CRANKSGIVING

Was a great sucess! We held a bicycle powered food drive ally-cat race and brought in over $1200 worth of food for The Marin County Food Bank.  TBW offered up a complete Yuba Mundo to whoever brought in as much food as our team members and in the spirit of giving the winner would be required to give the prize Yuba Mundo to a family or organization who will NEED and USE the bike. In this case however the only person who came close was Ben the owner of Yuba Bicycles. So we will hold this prize till the next contest.

The falconer has landed. We've equipped Cameron's bike with a powerful front hub motor run at 48 Volts and internal gearing. You've got to see this. 


The Bicycle Works now has 14 cargo bikes in the shop. You can come test ride all of them to get some ideas for customizing your own. 

 

Just so you know, We can electrify many types of bikes. Cargo bikes are our specialty because they are so darn useful, but you can bring in your mountain bike for a conversion too.   

 

The Bicycle Works is a great place to get an Xtracycle conversion on your old clunker.

Welcome to The Bicycle Works!

 The Bicycle Works is Marin’s not-for-profit do-it-yourself community bicycle tool workshop empowering our community with knowledge, skills, tools, and materials for bicycle related activity with open workshops, classes and a space for creative collaboration. This is what we do:

  • Promote sustainable transportation alternatives
  • Provide a hub for creativity and collaboration
  • Sponsor forward thinking and innovative projects
  • Organize rides, tours and other activities
  • Maintain a safe and friendly place for people to come together, hang out, and get stuff done.

 Since the Bicycle Works opened in 2009 we have been increasingly promoting and selling cargo and electric bicycles. We do so because we view electric utility bicycling as an important transition technology centered solution based innovation and social entrepreneurship. Were promoting design for a good example lifestyle.  

Here is a great video by Liz Canning all about the growing trend in utility cycling: 

 
And here is a promotional video for the shop.
