Bike Works is a Seattle-based nonprofit founded in 1996 that focuses on kids, bikes, and community. It runs a full-service bicycle shop offering affordable bicycle sales, professional service, used bikes, and parts, with all shop proceeds supporting year-round youth and community programs. The organization's Recycle & Reuse Department processes thousands of donated bikes each year, refurbishing some for sale or program use and recycling others for parts or disposal. Based in the Columbia City area, Bike Works serves neighborhoods that lack accessible community programs and safe public spaces, while running programs that mentor youth and promote bicycling as a healthy transportation option. In 2022, it partnered with Young Women Empowered to broaden opportunities for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ youth in the Seattle area.
