Recently, our Bike Shack team supported the Ridgecrest Bike Bus group by fixing kids' bikes and getting them ready for summer! 🚲☀️

Someone in summer clothes smiles at the camera while standing behind a bike.

Someone laughs as they hold up a pink kid's bike.

The Shoreline Tool Library table, full of outreach material, sits on the basketball court in front of various Bike Shack volunteers fixing different bikes.

We quietly opened our doors for the first time for Lake City Art Walk and got to show 56 people around what will eventually become a community hub for reuse and repair. Thanks for being so welcoming, Seattle 🥹🥰🫶

Three people embrace each other side-by-side in Reuse Commons Lake City. There are tables with upcycled art behind them.

Three tables are set up with various pieces of upcycled art inside Reuse Commons Lake City.

Someone waves to the camera behind a table full of different colorful prints and stickers. They stand outside the Reuse Commons Lake City building for Art Walk.
