Experimental Station

We run a bike shop, yes, but our goal is to weave local youth into all levels of our activity, from learning basic bike skills to facing the entrepreneurial challenges of a bustling small business.  All year-round, you can find young people at Blackstone Bicycle working, learning, and having a good time while doing it. Your participation, as a customer, donor or volunteer enriches your community and the lives of our young members.  Learn more about our Youth Program.

Retail Operations

Blackstone Bicycle Works sells refurbished bicycles and a complete line of basic bicycle accessories that will keep you rolling smoothly along. We also have an active repair and service department that will give you quality work at very reasonable prices.

The hard working, thriving business operations at Blackstone provide the basic foundation for our education mission. We want children to see and participate in this activity. The dollars you spend with us in our retail operation keep our doors open and allows us to expand educational opportunities.

Sustainable Practices

Blackstone Bicycle Works is a project dedicated to conservation. We perceive cycling not only as a potential solution to many of the problems faced by our slice of Chicago, but as part of a bigger strategy to reduce the environmental footprint of our society. All of our refurbished bikes are built from Chicago area donations. Saving useful bikes from entering the waste-stream is an important part of what we do. Learn more about donating a bike.
