The Lincoln Bike Kitchen is a community-building organization that provides bicycles and related resources to all people. We advocate for utilitarian bicycling as a vital part of a healthy, equitable and sustainable community. We connect cycling to broader environmental and social issues through outreach, and education.

In past years, LBK gave over 300 bikes to kids in 2016 and 650 in 2017, including a helmet and cable lock with each bike. Our success has been so overwhelming we are splitting at the seams and have outgrown our current space. We can't sustain this pace unless we find a new location. If you know of a possible space for repairs, office work and storage, contact us so we can continue helping kids be kids by matching them with a gently used bike!

The only reason I gave them two stars is because they DO give kids bikes, helmets and locks for free that otherwise cant afford one. HOWEVER, what they DON'T do is give respect. I couldnt believe the way I was treated when there. It was sickening. Nate and Clayton both. Its unfortunate that something so amazing sucks due to rudeness from volunteers.

Great place. Need a free bike or some free bike repairs or some free bike parts? Just drop by here. There's some great people working here.

Because it's done on a volunteer basis, it's done out of a garage that belongs to a junkyard, it was better than I thought. But the hours are the only problem.

This place is such a great asset to the community. Not only do they help kids get on bikes with lights, locks and helmets. They also help adults get on bikes. Volunteer for 10 hours and get a bike. If you can't afford repairs they'll fix it for free.

The Lincoln Bike Kitchen is an amazing place that is working to provide bikes to those who cannot afford them. They also fix bike up if people come in with them however if they are busy, it may take a few hours to fix it. Overall great place to be and if you want, learn how to fix bikes.

They fixed my bike and replaced my inner tube for free! They really knew what they were doing. I did feel a bit awkward standing there not knowing how to help...

Volunteered here for my community service hours. I learned the basics of putting together a bike.

Got two of my bikes serviced and learned how to fix them myself for next time. They were very gracious. Replaced my handlebar grips and rear reflector without me even asking. Thanks Bike Kitchen! Without y'all I would currently be walking to work.

Bike kitchen is a great place to get your bike fixed free, You can use tools provided and fix your bike, ad racks, ever completely replace parts such as handle bars, rims, tires and much more, the staff are friendly and will assist if they are able to.

They're only open Monday evenings in the winter, so be sure to visit their website for hours. If you're a bike maintenance guru, they have the facilities for you to work on your bike yourself and give you the space you need to work. If you're like me and had no idea where to begin, they walked me through the basics and showed me not only what they were doing, but why and had me learn the techniques hands-on. A donations-run non-profit doing great work in our community!
