B2C Bike Kitchen

What is it?

The B2C Bike Kitchen is a community space where work stands and tools are available for do-it-yourself bike repair.

It is not a full-service bike shop, but it is staffed by knowledgable volunteers who can assist you in making your own adjustments and repairs.

Fixing flats, adjusting brakes and gears, and oiling chains are some of the most common types of work done at the Bike Kitchen. More involved repairs, like replacing a bottom bracket, installing new brake or shifter cables—or even building a wheel—can also be performed.

Open-Shop Hours: October 2026

• Wed. & Thurs. 5:30–7 p.m.
• Sat. 10 a.m.–1 p.m.

The Bike Kitchen is an outdoor facility and may close for bad weather, including: rain, snow, or extreme temperatures. Please check our Facebook and Instagram pages before your visit.

Location

The Bike Kitchen is located on the Northern Strand Trail at 158 Canal Street in Malden.

Parking is easily available on the opposite side of Canal Street.

Who does the Bike Kitchen serve?

Bike Donations

In preparation for winter, when the Bike Kitchen is closed, we are not currently accepting bike donations.

If you have a bike in good condition that can be made safe to ride with a basic tune-up, we’ll be glad to have it in the Spring.

My brother and I had a fantastic experience at the bike kitchen. Their facilities have everything you need to fix up your bike. They were super helpful with adjusting the bikes and making sure we were safe and comfortable before riding off. Thank you Agnes, and the B2C team for being very kind and informative. We will have to stop by again soon!

Bike Kitchen is awesome! I was able to pick up a donated bike two weeks ago while volunteering. Since then the bike has helped me get healthy by biking to work everyday. It has also helped me build my mechanic skills at the Bike Kitchen and I have been able to immerse myself in a new community with awesome people!

A true community gem. I rolled in off the Northern Strand Trail with fussy brakes. A volunteer quickly dialed in my front brake, then offered to replace the rear cable and even lubed the chain. Friendly, patient, and skillful—runs on donations (I gave $10). My bike feels safe again. Thank you, B2C Bike Kitchen!
