Bike Oven is a cooperatively run bike shop.
What we do is instead of people dropping their bikes off to get fixed, we teach them how to do it.
We charge a sliding scale donation-based fee.
We sell people bikes for cheap.
We recently got our tax exemption nonprofit status.
Congratulations.

We are all volunteers.

Learned how to work on bikes there and then I moved out here in 2015.
I've been working on bikes at the Bike Oven for about three years and
