We’re moving Tuesday nights to Sunday afternoons. We’ll be in next Tuesday evening, 3/14, 6-8 PM as usual, but moving forward, starting Sunday 3/19, our hours will be Wed 6-8PM and Sunday 2-4PM.

Thanks to all our volunteers, donors and patrons!
As spring approaches we anticipate increased demand for your used bikes. If you’ve got one sitting in the garage you’re not using, please consider donating it to the Bike Kitchen!
We’re also always on the lookout for volunteer bike mechanics and also concierges–the folks who greet you at the door and take care of paperwork.

We remain closed to the public for the time being but are accepting donations and selling refurbished bikes by appointment. You can keep an eye on what bikes we have available on our Craigslist page here: https://humboldt.craigslist.org/search/sss?userid=223518213. If you depend on your bike for transportation and have an emergency repair needed, you can also contact us for drop-off repairs.

Right: Carson nabbed that beauties Cannondale today. Thank you Carson! Thank you awesome bike donators, and thank you volunteer mechanics who keep the wheels moving! We’re still closed to the public but taking appointments for donations and urgent repairs.

Thanks to all the folks who donate the bikes we fix up and get back out into the community. Here’s some recent matchmaking.

Team leader since the Bike Kitchen’s inception, Emily Sinkhorn is leaving our parent non-profit, RCAA, to take a job as Environmental Services Director for the city of Arcata.
It has been a privilege to work with Emily. She’s led with grace and kindness.
We’ll miss you Emily, but we’re happy to see you in such an important and responsible position.

Neighbors of mine have had both their vaccines. We’re by no means out of the woods but things are looking brighter! We continue to receive donations, refurbish and make bikes available. Also, especially for folks whose bikes are their main source of transportation, we’ve been booking repair appointments.
