Who We Are

Albany Bike Rescue (ABR) is a volunteer-run community work shop that provides everything you need to stay on two wheels. Our tools and maintenance help are free to all, and we sell affordable parts, bicycles and safety equipment. ABR can help fix and recycle your old bikes, take in that box of parts you've been meaning to get rid of, or help you find a bike you can afford, no matter your financial status. Established in 2013, incorporated in 2016, riding strong ever since. 

​We are not a traditional bike shop! We are there help you through the process of fixing your bike. There is no charge for our volunteer help, but there is a cost for parts. There is NO drop off  repair service. We cannot  hold or store a bicycle for you. Bicycles, parts and accessories left at ABR are considered donations.

You can get a bike at ABR with a cash donation, or by earning it with volunteer hours, or by referral from an affiliated social services program.
Open Shop, Tuesdays 530pm-730pm 
Fix your bike | Buy bikes and parts | Volunteer
Come fix a bike on your own or with the help of our resident wrenches. Open to the public. Space is limited. We cannot take drop offs for repair. You stay with your bike to learn maintenance and repair skills.

Volunteer Shop, Thursdays 6-8pm
Buy bikes and parts | Volunteer  (there are no walk-in repairs on Thursdays)
Thursdays are when volunteers work on donated bikes.
Fill out a  membership/volunteer application and join the fun.  No experience required. 
(PS: You don't need bike mechanic skills to become a volunteer. We also need assistance with bike transportation, distribution, web design, social media outreach, special event staffing, and more. If you'd like to help ABR with your skills and time, visit our Volunteer page to get started.)
