Do-It-Yourself Bicycle Maintenance
Do you need a powerful bike light but are low on cash? Come on out and join the crew to build yourself a very high quality 10 watt bike lite that will burn over 2 hours on a charge for under $30.00! The more people who participate, the lower the price will be.
No experience is necessary. We’ll find something for you to do. Everyone pays the same price. Everyone gets the same thing.

We are thankful for all of the volunteers that have helped us out with their time and experience. Without all of the volunteers we would not have been in business for almost 3 years!
In case you missed it the Appetite Enhancement ride was today. It was a great time and we are happy to see folks come together for brews, friends, and bikes. Thanks Vince and all the other volunteers that made this possible. We’ll post more pictures soon.
I’d like to personally send out a shout out to Jacqueline, Chris, and Mark who put up with my slow but steady oyster shucking (despite the sliced finger).
Happy Thanksgiving!
Update : We’ve posted some pictures to our flickr group and you can view a slideshow here. If you want to add your own photos just create a flickr account (they are free), join our flickr group, and add them.

It has been a long time coming but we have finally found a new (and much improved) space for the shop. We just signed the year-long lease with an option to extend and are looking forward to putting some work into getting it in shape. This will be such a great space for us and there really isn’t much to do. There is approx 1200 sq. ft. in all leaving us with a ton of room to move about. Check out the floor plan of the first floor to the left (we get everything with lines through it). It has a huge garage door that we’ll likely use as the primary entrance. It is very centrally located in the heart of midtown at: 1915 I Street.

Some of you are aware of the recent events in our neighbor to the West. The Davis Bike Church (which has been around even longer than the SBK!) is going to be losing their space on campus. This is very sad news and it is unfortunate that the powers that be at UC Davis have not stepped up to offer more support. There was a benefit dance party on Saturday (pictures here) that drew a huge crowd. It is great to see such support from the community. The party might be over but now comes the hard part, working towards non-profit status just like us. A few of us at the SBK are planning on helping out and we’d like to see others join us in helping our old time neighbors and friends in Davis.
Update: There is a community meeting today at the Domes to discuss the next steps for the Bike Church. Click the link on our calendar –>
We’ve been working on collecting a comprehensive map and list of bike shops and bike services in the greater Sacramento area. Here is what we have so far. If you are interested in collaborating on this project please email Scott.
