Happy Birthday Bicycle Kitchen!
Did you know that the Bicycle Kitchen/La Bicicocina is twenty years old?!
This grassroots, all-volunteer run 501c3 nonprofit bicycle repair workshop and education space which started in the Los Angeles Eco-Village in K-Town in 2002, then for seven years at Heliotrope and Melrose (Hel-Mel) single-handedly anchored what became known as the Bicycle District, now owns its own building on the corner of Fountain and Virgil. Cooks are still cooking up bikes for $8/hour, no one turned away for lack of funds 20 years later!
We want to thank you for your part in laying the foundation for this two decade milestone. We’d also like to invite you to join us in celebrating the Bicycle Kitchen’s 20th Anniversary with a gift.
We have set an ambitious goal to raise $20,000 by the end of this year. It’s bold, but really it should and could be higher because Los Angeles needs the Bicycle Kitchen to stick around forever!
