I want to thank the volunteers and staff at Working Bikes for teaching me how to refurbish and tune up bicycles.  I'm finally feeling comfortable with properly adjusting front and rear derailers.

I'm enjoying the volunteer times spent at WB because of all the great people there including the customers who always have great bicycle stories.

Having earned from WB, and working on, a Personal Project Bike is a huge plus.  Its a 1993 Trek Antelope.  I've put well over 30 hours (a whole lot of it at home) of making mistakes and then correcting them.  I would never have started something like this if it weren't for the support given at WB.
Got myself a great new used bike and the satisfaction of perhaps delivering hundreds of bikes to people needing them locally and around the world.

I'm looking forward to the time when I donate the Trek Antelope back to Working Bikes and get myself another Personal Project bike - just for the fun of rebuilding and riding it.

Greetings Pilsen/Little Village cyclists!

Please consider yourself invited and encouraged to attend the inaugural meeting of the Pilsen/Little Village bicycle alliance, this Sunday from 4 to 5:30 PM at Harbee's Tavern, 1345 W 18th Street (quiet back room.)*

The purpose of the meeting is twofold:

1) To see who's interested in having an active organization (PLVBA or whatever you'd like to name it) to work long-term for better conditions for cyclists in our part of town, and what sort of vision we may collectively have.
A possible mission/purpose of such an organization can be viewed here:

2) To give Maggie Melin of Active Transportation Alliance opportunity to introduce a new City of Chicago walking/biking/transit initiative called "Go Pilsen."

No RSVP necessary but it would be good to get an idea of who's hoping to attend-- let me know individually or per phone/text at 773 710-4143.

If you'd like to attend to talk about your own initiative, get petitions signed, etc. I'd definitely prefer that you got in touch first.

Thanks!

*Pending final confirmation with owner-- slight chance of location change-- should know before Sat 2/22.

Bjorn: you are always welcome to come along and volunteer, see the www.WorkingBikes.org web-site for details - or, tomorrow, we are filling a container with bikes bound for Ghana!

I have to say that overall I was really unimpressed with the Chicago Winter Bike Swap (I was looking for parts for a build I am working on), but meeting your staff at the booth saved the whole experience. i would love to volunteer at Working Bikes. Thanks for all you do!

Whereabouts? Is it two blocks north, south, east or west of Working Bikes. In that area, two blocks makes a big difference.

What neighborhood? Pilsen?

Hiya folks,

Just finishing work on a vintage 2-flat in my block w/ 2 rental apartments (2 blocks from WBC) and hoping to keep it in the bike family.

Working Bikes Inaugural Service Department Opens Wednesday, April 13!

That's right, for the first time in its history, Working Bikes is opening a full service repair shop, to do everything from flat fixes and spoke replacements to full tune-ups and overhauls.

New Hours for Sales and Service!
Wednesday 12 -7
Thursday 12 - 7
Friday 12 - 5
Saturday 12 - 5 

The new Service Department features a staff of highly skilled and professionally trained bicycle mechanics, with years and years of experience working with new and used bikes, to help get your bicycle running just like new. 

Stop in and say hello to our friendly and courteous staff, and let us help you find exactly what it is you're looking for. Working Bikes' mechanics work on a much larger variety of bicycles, from over a much longer timespan than most bike mechanics do. Because of this we're a great resource for diagnosing problems and finding parts for old, obsolete or vintage bikes. 

But we're also more than capable of helping repair or troubleshoot issues with new bikes, single speed and fixed gear conversions, high end road and mountain bikes, or really anything pedal-powered.

Come visit the new Working Bikes!
