Working Bikes

I bought an old women’s classic schwin from WB, she was rickety from day one with questionable gears (functioning on their own whim), but mostly worked for the 10 yrs I owned it, did the job of easy local riding. Went to a different bike shop for a fitted road bike that i used for my wiork commute. Bought a fixed gear bike online that I needed for fastest/easiest/light weight commute/travel in downtown. If yoh bike for different reasons, having different bikes for each helps — and can be done...

If you’re going to Working Bikes, you’re probably aware of their charity mission and all that they do. This review is solely focused on my experience with Working Bikes’ retail storefront. In terms of their offerings, you can typically find decently updated (tires, saddles, cables, brake pads, etc) bikes for commuting and neighborhood use for around $250-$400. There are no big box store junk bikes, and every time I have visited, I have seen Italian road bikes, high-end gravel bikes and other ...

So during an exchange with another fabul...

I was given a brand new lock for my bike and shown how to use it along with other features on my bike. Devon and her co-workers were amazing and very helpful! I will definitely be back in! I high...

I've bought a bike here, bought parts here, and I volunteer here. As a bike shop, it's a great place to go look for used parts or to buy a fixed-up used bike. With the used bikes, it's best to browse on their website, because they only keep some in the storefront. With the used parts it's like a Goodwill Outlet Store. There are large bins of different categories of parts, you have to sift through and find the part you need. Recently, I've had decent luck finding the *exact* part I needed. ...
