"Adult Classes & Workshops
Our classes and workshops offer fun, friendly, and accessible bike education to people 18 years old and up! Whether you’re interested in a seven-week bike repair course, or a one-time workshop, we have something for everyone!
Classes take place in the Bike Works Warehouse (3715 S Hudson St #111, Lower Level East Entrance, Seattle, WA 98118). Masks are encouraged to protect those most vulnerable in our community, but they are not required in our space.
Due to the high demand for class series, starting April 21st 2026 we are moving our registration system from open enrollment to a lottery system. Sign-up for the lottery will remain open for 2 days starting at 2pm, after which folks will be notified of the results. Recipients will have a week to register for the class, after which any unclaimed registrations will be returned to our reservation system to select other applicants. Applicants who do not receive a registration link will have increased odds for the next lottery signup, provided the signup information remains consistent between sign-ups.
We open registration for workshops and classes quarterly. If you do not see a registration button next to a class below, please check back later!
Our 2026 Season schedule will be posted this fall. We will offer two BR201, two BR101 (open enrollment), one BR101 (TWIG), and one BR101 (BIPOC).
Can’t sign up for a workshop or bike repair class? Check out our Open Shop program, which happens every 2nd & 4th Saturday from 1-5pm, year-round!
NOTE: As of Feb 2025, Friday Open Shops are cancelled until further notice.
Class Tuition
All of our programming is pay what you can afford, with options to offset the full cost by volunteering at Bike Works.

Workshops are a great way to learn about your bike without committing to a seven-week bike repair course. Participants will focus on one topic, and should bring in their own (non-electric) bike. If you are unable to bring your bike, Bike Works is happy to provide one for you.A limited selection of tools, replacement parts and accessories will be available for purchase at workshops, however, we might not have everything you need. Students are encouraged to bring in their own parts if they are looking to replace anything specific, or email their instructor beforehand. We will do our best to accommodate you and your bike!"

Is 2025 the year you become a community bike mechanic?
From Seattle REconomy on Bluesky.Got some bike fixing knowledge you want to put to good use in 2025? Or do you have an interest in learning and improving your bike repair skills? Volunteer with a community bike program near you!
One of the greatest strengths of bicycling for transportation is its resilience. When a car dashboard throws up a warning light, there’s not much the average person can do other than take it to a shop and brace themselves for an estimate that will likely cost as much as a new bicycle. But with bikes, you have more options. You can take it to a shop to have professionals do the job to perfection, or you can save some money by trying to do it yourself. Not everyone wants to learn bike repair, which is fine. That’s a big reason why bike shops are such important bike infrastructure. But for those who do want to learn (or can’t afford professional shop time), Seattle has great community resources available that run on community donations and generous volunteer power.
Bike Shack Shoreline and NE Seattle
Initially an independent community bike repair org housed in an actual shack, the Bike Shack is now part of Seattle REconomy’s tool libraries in NE Seattle and Shoreline. Anyone can become a Tool Library member and bring their bike to the Bike Shack during open hours and use the shop tools and ask for assistance from volunteers (though you can drop-in, it’s best to fill out a Request for Assistance form on their website to let them know what kind of work you need).
The Bike Shack recently put out a call for volunteer bike mechanics for both locations. Previous experience is not required.
The Bikery
The Bikery is a volunteer-powered community bike shop on Hiawatha Place near Rainier and Dearborn. They have open shop hours on weekends as well as volunteer build nights and other events. They often have openings for board members and other work within the organization if that’s more your speed.
Bike Works
Though Bike Works is primarily dedicated to youth programming, bicycle reuse and their bike shop, they also have weekly adult volunteer repair parties where people of all skill levels can work on fixing up bikes to support their programs. It’s a great way to get hand-on experience and learn from experienced mechanics, though it is not geared toward fixing your own bike. Once you’re in, you may find yourself doing all kinds of other volunteer work to support this great community organization, and you’ll have a great time doing it. Unlike the other organizations on this list, the Bike Works shop is staffed by paid mechanics. But they are generous about costs, especially for folks who don’t have the funds to pay full shop prices.
The Center for Bicycle Repair
The Center for Bicycle Repair is a small bike shop on Jackson Street near 10th Ave S that focuses both on helping people keep their wheels rolling and on teaching the basics of bicycle repair through classes.
Other opportunities
This list is not exhaustive. There are other organizations beyond Seattle, like Sharing Wheels in Everett, and some bike shops like Wright Brothers also have community programs or classes of some kind. Ask your local mechanic if they know of anything nearby.
Have a favorite bike repair volunteer gig that you want to share? Let us know in the comments below.

Map of Friday’s Bike Everywhere Day Stations
Bike Everywhere Day is Friday, and people and organizations will be hosting Celebration Stations all over the place to cheer on anyone riding a bike and maybe give out some coffee, snacks or swag.
If you work a 9 to 5 job, I highly suggest getting an early start so you can visit some stations along the way. And if you don’t work Friday […]
