Service Shop
Our service shop has everything you need to keep your bike in tip-top condition. We offer professional bike advice, repairs, and sales in an inclusive, no-fuss environment. We love working on vintage & modern bikes with mechanical systems. We stock a variety of new and used components to suit every style and budget. Looking for a refurbished bike? We have those too.
We are a full service shop, but we are a specialty shop in the sense that we are not able to work on everything that comes our way. The Bike Kitchen politely declines to work on electronic shifting, computer systems, power meters, scooters or electric scooters. We want to be able to proudly stand behind our repairs and unfortunately these systems fall outside of our areas of expertise and we do not own the necessary tools or repair parts to work on those things. You are always welcome to use our DIY Instructional space to work on those systems or we can refer you to some of our friends around the city for servicing.

$12 per Hour
(charged in 15 minute increments)
If you would like to use tools you are required to be wearing closed-toe shoes (aka no sandals, flip-flops). This is a working shop with a lot of heavy, sharp tools that can easily fall onto your feet. We are also regularly using power tools in the space, so please come with proper footwear.
We provide masks free of charge for our employees and any customers/volunteers who wish to wear one and have 3 HEPA air purifiers total running throughout the shop. Please help protect your community by staying home if you have any symptoms indicative of COVID-19, or you have had COVID in the last 2 weeks.
Full service
Assessments are always free and are done on a drop-in basis. After having your bike assessed, we can schedule an appointment to drop your bike off to be repaired by our professional mechanics.
Walk-in repairs are welcome, repair schedule permitting. Tune-ups by appointment only.
Contact us
Sorry, we do not book appointments by phone or email; however, inquiries are always welcome.
