Inside Sacramento Bike Kitchen Workshop
SBK’s primary goal is to enhance the cycling experience in Sacramento by making bike maintenance, repair resources, and training readily available to everyone, regardless of their current skill level. To achieve this, they provide a welcoming space equipped with the necessary tools and knowledgeable staff. In exchange for a small donation, patrons can learn to perform any bicycle repair, from minor adjustments to more complex fixes, with guidance and support. Beyond DIY bike repairs, Sacramento Bike Kitchen also strives to enrich the community by offering regular maintenance and safety classes, as well as engaging in various community outreach programs.
Sacramento Bike Kitchen thrives on the generosity of volunteers and donations to sustain its operations. For those interested in contributing, detailed information about volunteer opportunities and donation methods can be found on their volunteer and donations pages. Your support helps SBK continue to serve the Sacramento cycling community.

Important Update: Sacramento Bike Kitchen is currently open with limited capacity DIY repairs during all operating hours, subject to manager’s discretion. Due to space constraints and to ensure service for all patrons, only 4 DIY racks are available at any time. They are also requesting patrons to focus on smaller repairs to maximize the number of cyclists they can assist daily. Please note that DIY rack availability may be further limited based on staffing and shop volume. For the most up-to-date information, please visit their Facebook page or check their blog posts on their website.
