In a nutshell, the Bicycle Kitchen’s mission is to provide the Smith College community with bike rentals, riding support and maintenance education. More broadly, we see the Bike Kitchen as a forum for those interested in environmentally-friendly transportation and promoting bike love in all aspects of life in the Pioneer Valley and beyond.
What We Do!
- Teach Bike Maintenance : Bring your bike during fixing hours and we will teach you how to get it into tip top shape
- Rent Bikes : Rent bikes to students for $20/Semester or work exchange for 5 hours so you can have your own bike.
- Keep the Campus Green : We provide safety classes for new cyclists, promote biking on campus and around the Valley and provide ways to reduce car traffic.
- Build Community : We provide the place for people with an interest in bikes to hang out. Past community-building activities have included group rides and film screenings.
