WELCOME TO THE SACRAMENTO BICYCLE KITCHEN

SBK-shopWThe Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen (SBK) is a community-centered bicycle shop serving the residents of Sacramento. The organization was formed in order to promote cycling as a low-cost, alternative form of transportation; enable self-sufficiency through knowledge of bicycle maintenance; and promote bicycle safety through education and classes.

SBK wants to improve bicycling in Sacramento by making bicycle maintenance, repair, and training more widely available to everyone, regardless of skill level. To this end, we provide the space, tools, and staff necessary to help patrons learn how to perform any bicycle repair need they may have, all in exchange for a minimal cash donation. Besides running the bike shop, we also try to offer maintenance and safety classes as well as community outreach projects. Scroll down to our recent post to learn about any current offerings or events.

SBK relies on volunteers and donations to keep our doors open; visit our volunteer page for info on volunteer requirements and our donations page for the why, what, when, hows of donating!

Look for the Ivy

Look for the Ivy near the intersection of 20th & I streets!

SBK’s doors are open during shop hours to anyone who loves and respects bicycling and their fellow cyclists as much as we do!

Sacramento is one of the most diverse communities in the nation. SBK is an organization that is committed to creating an environment that is free from bigotry and hate. Discrimination will not be tolerated and we try hard to maintain an open and safe environment for all. If you encounter someone that goes against this policy, please bring it to one of the core volunteers’ attention.

Reparación de Pinchazos en Español
Cuándo y Dónde: sábado el 2 de agosto 2-4 PM en la Sac Bike Kitchen
Costo: GRATIS!
Cupo limitado. Favor de reservar por email: classes@sacbikekitchen.org.

En esta clase, enfocamos en capacidades prácticas. Aprenderás:

  • Cómo evitar pinchazos y averiguar por qué ocurren
  • Cómo reparar un pinchazo por cambiar la cámara y parchar la cámara
  • Cuales herramientas se necesita para armar un kit de reparación 
  • Cómo mantener seguridad personal cuando se repara un pinchazo en la calle 

Si tienes tu propia bicicleta, te sugerimos llevarla a clase. También se puede practicar con bicicletas del taller. Experiencia previa no se necesita. La clase es para principiantes. 

  • La meta de todas las clases de la Sac Bike Kitchen es enseñarte cómo hacer reparaciones para ti mism@. No somos responsables por cualquier daño que pueda ocurrir durante la clase. Ni te garantizamos que tu bici esté arreglada al fin de la clase, especialmente si no funciona antes de la clase.
  • Tenemos experiencia reparando una gran variedad de bicicletas pero no todas. Al llevar una bicicleta poco común que nunca hemos visto, estamos content@s trabajar en ella pero no garantizamos poder repararla cien por ciento. 
  • La Sacramento Bike Kitchen es un entorno seguro, libre de cualquier tipo de violencia y odio donde se propaguen respeto, en el que toda persona pueda sentirse segura.
