Welcome to the Bikery
The Bikery is a new community organization with programs operating through venues in Seattle and nearby, providing opportunities for you to learn about, repair, and safely enjoy your bike.
Upcoming Bikery Classes and Events
New Volunteer Orientation - Sunday, June 28th from noon-2pm
Join us to learn about the history, values, and mission of the Bikery, and how you can get more involved. We encourage people of all skill levels to volunteer with the Bikery. Please email volunteer@thebikery.org for more information.
Components 101: The Drivetrain - Sunday, July 12th from noon-2pm
Hey, what's going on down there? This class will focus on the drivetrain - your chain, your cranks, and all those things that make your bike go! The clinic will begin with an anatomy lesson around the drivetrain of your bike with lessons on shifters and the different shifting systems. You'll learn how to adjust front and rear derailleurs, install cables, and there'll be room for hands-on work at the end of the class. The Bikery requests a donation for attendance of clinics, but we let you choose the amount you feel is appropriate, and no one will be refused for lack of payment.

Know Your Rights - Sunday, July 19th from noon-2pm
- Is it illegal to ride a bike in the middle of a lane of traffic?
- Are you supposed to signal for turns with your left or right hand?
- What about using a crosswalk to avoid swerving through six lanes of traffic?
These and other topics are included in our conversation-based Know Your Rights workshop, designed to allow cyclists an opportunity to share experiences, survival skills, long-unanswered questions, and much more.
Getting Back in the Saddle - Thursday, July 16th from 7-9pm
Haven't ridden a bike since you were a kid, but looking to get "back in the saddle"? This is the class for you!
We'll go over information helpful to new cyclists like which bikes are best for which purpose, good places to buy bikes, what other equipment you need to get started, how to ride on streets, and we'll have time to answer questions that you bring as well.
