| Mission Statement | The Bike Kitchen is a community-building organization that provides bicycles and related resources to all people. We advocate for utilitarian bicycling as a vital part of a healthy, equitable and sustainable community. We connect cycling to broader environmental and social issues through outreach, and education. |
Lincoln Bike Kitchen
The Lincoln Bike Kitchen empowers people in our local community of Lincoln by actively promoting and advocating for cycling. It is run entirely by volunteers and supported by donations (bikes, parts, tools, money) from the community.
Cycling can be a fun, healthy, environmentally-friendly, and cost effective mode of transportation. We believe that it should be made safe and available for everyone who wants to be a "biker".
The Lincoln Bike Kitchen provides refurbished bikes and parts to community members so anyone that wants to be biking can be, for free. By combining free access to professional tools with a team of knowledgeable and dedicated volunteers, we also aim to help others develop the basic maintenance skills that will keep their bikes rolling for a lifetime. =

History
Lincoln Bike kitchen was opened in 2010 by Pepe. It was originally operated in a house until the current location was purchased. At one time we were looking for a larger place but then decided that this one is plenty large enough and started organizing it for better use. Here are some helpful hints to organize some of your parts: Rope storage for seats and other items Using rods to store parts, Bearings, headsets, pedals and etc.
Services Offered
Earn-A-Bike
Earn-A-Bike diverts unused bikes from the waste stream using them as teaching tools to empower participants with the basic maintenance and commuting skills along with the resources to build themselves a dependable bike.
After 10 hours of volunteering, you'll pick a bicycle and refurbish it to fit your commuting needs with the help of experienced volunteer mechanics. You'll finish the program with a dependable bike and the knowledge, skills, and resources to maintain it.
Free repairs - access to tools. If you want to work on your own bicycle, just come in, talk with us, and get to work. We have complete sets of bike specific tools to help you with your repair. We help you, for free, as you may need it. While this shop is all about a 'do it yourself' ethic, we will not leave you stranded.
We enjoy helping you learn, but please have patience, as sometimes many people need bicycle help at the same time. While you wait, you can lend a hand to someone else!
These services are free, yet donations into our donation jar are much appreciated.
