A Community Hub for Culture and Technology

Over the years The Bicycle Works was an important cultural resource for the Bay Area. We taught bike repair in the community tool workshop, provided innovative transportation alternatives for the commute or around town, hosted bike rides, and threw concerts at our shop. We strived to create a fun and positive environment for people to gather, learn, create, and share.  Having a cooperative bike tool workshop brought together a diverse cross section of people in Marin who share an interest in bicycles and social change. Built on a non-profit social enterprise model, the number one resource for our growth was the goodwill of the local community.  Here is a selection of photographs that in a nut shell tell The Bicycle Works Story.
