Working Bikes

Working Bikes strengthens local and global communities by giving donated bicycles new life and redistributing them as tools for mobility, independence, and opportunity. 

Since 1999, their network of dedicated volunteers, staff, and supporters has helped repair and redistribute over 150,000 bikes globally and tens of thousands more throughout Chicago. Whether in Africa, Latin America, or right here in the city, their mission is rooted in the belief that bicycles are the most reliable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly form of transportation. 

As a full-service bike shop, they offer affordable refurbished bikes, accessories, and repair services, with all proceeds supporting their nonprofit programs—including international and local bike donations and robust volunteer opportunities.
