Guest Post: The Quail Bicycle Kitchen!

Guest post: Our friends in Encinitas now have a Bicycle Kitchen! They filled us in on all the details! 

Don’t know what a Bicycle Kitchen is? Google it! Basically, a bicycle kitchen is a place you can work on your bike and use tools for free. A bicycle kitchen is not the same thing as a bike shop. We will not do your repairs for you, and we don’t (generally) sell bikes, parts, or tools. Instead, a bicycle kitchen is a unique environment created by the bicycle community designed to support people who want to get out of their cars and onto their bikes!

The Quail Bicycle Kitchen will have air, patch kits, tubes, master links and basic tools available. If specific parts are needed, you can let us know in advance, and we will do our best to track them down and make them available to you.  

We will also have regular group cycles, and regular bicycle repair classes.

We are here to help you stay on the road. Come join a community from beginners to experts helping more people get on the road safely.

The first Board Meeting

You don’t need to have a bike problem to stop by. You don't even need a bike. The jewel in our crown is a fine fleet of bicycles you can borrow for free. Walk, run, or drive here. Borrow a bike and enjoy the area!

We are a not-for-profit community of bike enthusiasts. We welcome donations of fixer-upper bikes, bike parts, or tools. Any proceeds will be put right back into the bike kitchen to help make it a success.

Our real goal is to have fun and help as many cyclists as we can along the way!

We welcome new members to join the bicycle community and our team here at the Bicycle Kitchen and help us offer more services, or simply join us on one of our rides. We’re open 9-5, Thursday-Saturday. But once you are part of the team and have been shown the ropes, our hours with sunrise to sunset 365 days a year!

Address: 501 Quail Gardens Drive, Encinitas 92024
