Working Bikes is a project of the Resource Center that diverts bicycles from the waste stream in Chicago by repairing them for sale and charity.
We were started in 1998 as an all-volunteer organization dedicated to recycling bikes, supporting a bike culture in Chicago, and helping local as well as international projects in need of bikes.
We accept any and all bikes – they do not have to be working!
