Working Bikes

Working Bikes breathes new life into donated bicycles, transforming them into tools of empowerment for local and global communities. Since its establishment in 1999, this Chicago-based organization has revitalized over 100,000 bikes worldwide and tens of thousands in the city. Through their efforts, over a hundred thousand individuals have gained access to resources and opportunities, contributing to waste reduction, pollution mitigation, and improved health.

Situated in Chicago's vibrant Little Village neighborhood, Working Bikes operates as a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity. The proceeds from their shop sales directly support their bike donation programs, ensuring sustainability in covering costs like international shipping, local bike repairs, and staff maintenance. By accepting donated bikes from various sources, they repair and redistribute these bikes locally, internationally, or sell them in their storefront.

Emphasizing community involvement, Working Bikes relies on a dedicated team of volunteers to carry out their mission. From repairing bicycles for donation to organizing outreach events, volunteers play a crucial role in supporting the organization's local and global initiatives. Their storefront offers a diverse selection of bicycles, accessories, and parts, alongside a full-service department staffed with skilled mechanics, contributing to their commitment to sustainability and environmental impact.
