Swap, shop, or drop of an older bike in Olympia-Sunday's noon to four

Build a Bike in Olympia, Washington - Check the link to the left here for their web site info! 
Location is 2602 18th Ave SE Olympia, WA   Phone is 539-0955 if you are unable to stop by on Sunday afternoons. 


Drop off is every Sunday Noon to Four at  Boulevard Rd. & 18th Ave. (behind the Pit Stop grocery) in Olympia WA.



Do you need a part for your bike? You may be able to find what you need at the community build a bike.


Or you may be able to build a bike from the ground up. 


Provided you live in or around Olympia, WA. 




Community Build a Bike is located in East Olympia. This started in 1998 and used to be at the old Madison elementary school, which is now New Bridge Community Church. For awhile it was behind Ralph's Thriftway. The current location off Boulevard is where they have been the past 5 years, and all three locations are not far from Lion's Park in the Olympia Eastside Neighborhood. 


Are you in need of a tune up, but don't have the tools? Come and tune up yours and help someone else learn how to maintain their bike.   Or come learn how this is done. 


Do you like tearing down and putting things together? 


Is there someone you know needs a bike, but cash is short? 


Do you want a home for the bike you grew out of, or have one that is broke down?


How about backpacks, gloves or other bike accessories sitting in your garage, or that you are in need of? 

Build a bike has a solution for you.  Stop by and brainstorm.  After that it is all about putting it together, together. 


On August 21st, we dropped off an older bike we don't need anymore. It was adopted in about five minutes....thought the thing was a mess and ready for the dump, but all it needed was some expert attention to get on the road again.




Build A Bike is a "spoke" of many similar community groups across America.
