Bike Works Seattle

05/12/2026

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who was part of Bike Works’ 24th annual Bikecitement! Thank you for sharing your time, effort, love, and willingness to make BIKE WORKS IS FOREVER an unforgettable celebration of cycling, community, and inclusivity. Collectively, we raised $143,787. THANK YOU!!! As you can see in the photos above, the community really showed up and we are profoundly grateful.

While the party itself has concluded, the fundraising has not. You can help us get closer to our goal of $180,000 today. (Remember to mention Bikecitement in the gift note!) Your support helps us continue the work of reclaiming over 5000 landfill-bound bikes per year, giving hundreds of bikes to the community for free, maintaining a low-cost shop, and running youth and adult programs. It's not too late to give: https://givebutter.com/c/bikecitement2026

Huge shoutouts to our MC, Cyprus Richardson; our Volunteer of the Year, Martin Criminale; DJ dark wiley; Kae-Lin Wang for her incredible photos; Madres Kitchens; Synchronicity Events; Washington Hall; and all of our sponsors!

Thank you to all who were able to attend. Stay tuned for a photo recap on our website. Please fill out this feedback form so we can make the party even better next time. For those who couldn’t be there, we’ll catch you next time!

This week we received around 500 donated bikes and as cool as most of them are, we cannot fix them all. We cannot! But we can save them from the landfill- though we’ll need your help. This Saturday from 1-4 in South Seattle you’ll find vintage Kleins, titanium galore, and plenty of British steel. If you’re looking for that budget STP build or that shed-dust covered sleeper eagerly awaiting rebirth, look no further. Summer months are coming and industry experts are predicting a bike boom. If you’ve got bike plans slated for August, get ahead of the game this Saturday. Times a wasting, but we are not wasting anything!

Gas prices what they are and all, time to buy a perfectly sound as-is bike and kit it out with new-used componentry. Help us make room for more stuff! Saturday, April 4th from 1-4.

It’s true about the handlebars. But anyways help us get this used and still good stuff back on the road, trail, or multi-use-path! We’ve got as-is bikes from every era, for every application, at get outta here prices. We have tires for every wheel, wheels for every tire, and more forks than red 🦞! The Bike Works Warehouse is THE place to be on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month. See you there, k?

Join us at the historic Washington Hall for a Bikeciting night of connection, community, and belonging at Washington Hall!
We’ll provide heavy appetizers and refreshing beverages including beer and wine. You provide convivial conversation and good vibes!
Bike Valet parking will be available, and the venue is close to King County Metro routes 7, 9, 14, 27, 60, 106, 309, 36, 49, as well as the First Hill Streetcar. Neighborhood street parking is available but limited.
The venue is wheelchair accessible and there is an elevator if you don’t wish to use stairs for any reason.
Food will include vegan and gluten-free options.
This year, we are creating more space and opportunity to connect, mingle, and dance. There will be seating available, but we are moving away from a find-your-seat-and-sit-there-the-whole-night kind of party. We will have more to say about this as the date draws nearer. Registration link in bio!
