The Garage

The South Bend Bike Garage is a community-focused bicycle workspace dedicated to making cycling accessible, affordable, and welcoming for everyone in South Bend. Our core operations center around refurbishing donated bikes and providing repair assistance that support transportation, health, and independence.

Located in heart of DTSB

We recently moved into our new space at 119 W Wayne St, located in downtown South Bend. While we are currently open on Wednesday evenings from 5-8pm, one of our strategic initiatives is to expand our open hours as we build the capacity to serve more riders and increase community access.

Buy-A-Bike

We accept donated bicycles, restore them with care, and offer them for sale at affordable, community-friendly prices. Each refurbished bike:

Undergoes a full mechanical inspection
Has worn or broken parts replaced
Is tuned and prepared for safe, smooth riding

These bikes give residents access to low-cost, dependable transportation and help keep bikes out of the waste stream.

Repair-A-Bike

During open shop hours, anyone can bring their bikes in for:

Affordable repair services performed by trained mechanics
DIY workstand access for those who want to fix their own bike
Guidance and support for learning basic maintenance skills

Whether it’s a flat tire, shifting issue, brake adjustment, or a full tune-up, our goal is to keep people riding safely and confidently.

Parts & Essentials

We offer a selection of new and used parts essential to keeping bikes in good working order, including:

Tires, tubes, chains, and cassettes
Brake pads, cables, and housing
Lights, locks, and other safety gear

All parts and accessories are priced to support access and affordability.
