Somerville Bike Kitchen
Somerville Bike Kitchen (SBK) is a volunteer-run bicycle repair cooperative founded in 2015. SBK provides tools, knowledge, and a workspace for local cyclists to repair their own bicycles and promote cycling as safe, green, and economical means of transportation and recreation accessible to everyone.
We host weeknight walk-in shop nights, repair classes, and weekend community building events. Each month approximately 200 people attend our open shop nights and over the past seven years SBK has helped thousands of people maintain their bikes and introduced hundreds of new people to cycling.
SBK Petition Testimonial
“The bike kitchen empowers people by supporting affordable and flexible mobility, through education and a sense of communal ownership. This is community building at its best”
339R Summer Street
Somerville, MA
Tuesdays and Thursdays
6pm-9pm
The building is in the back and down a driveway. See Map
We suggest a contribution of $10 per hour for using the space and tools. (Sliding scale, no one turned away for lack of funds) For those with more serious interest, we offer a $100 yearly membership. Members can use the space anytime during drop-in hours with no additional charge.
We are not professional bike mechanics. If you want professional advice about your bike, we recommend that you stop by any of the wonderful local bike shops in our area. That said, we all like working on bikes and are happy to share what we know.
