Community Bike
Repair Clinic

BikePoughkeepsie’s Bicycle Repair Clinic helps keep people riding safely and affordably. We provide free basic bicycle repairs, maintenance assistance, and refurbished bikes to community members who rely on bicycles for transportation, recreation, and everyday life.

Whether your bike needs a quick adjustment, a flat repair, or basic safety work, our volunteers are here to help.

  • We believe bicycles are more than recreation — they are transportation, freedom, exercise, and access to opportunity.

    Our clinic exists to:

    • Help more people ride safely

    • Keep bicycles out of landfills

    • Make transportation more affordable

    • Support children and families

    • Build a stronger biking community in Poughkeepsie

    By repairing and redistributing bicycles, we help connect residents to work, school, parks, trails, and local businesses.

    If you have some used bikes or bike parts you would like to donate, please contact us.

  • Our volunteer mechanics can assist with many common repairs, including:

    • Flat tire repair

    • Brake adjustments

    • Gear and shifting adjustments

    • Chain maintenance

    • Tire inflation

    • Safety checks

    • Basic tune-ups

    Please note that some major repairs or specialty parts may be outside the scope of the clinic.

  • Our Bicycle Repair Clinic takes place every second Saturday of the month at the garden/basement level of the First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Poughkeepsie (325 Mill St, Poughkeepsie, NY 12601).

    In addition to our monthly clinic, BikePoughkeepsie.org also participates in repair cafés, farmers markets, community events, and other pop-up locations throughout the city.

    Check our events calendar or follow us on Instagram for upcoming clinic dates and locations.

  • Have an unused bicycle collecting dust?

    We accept donated bikes in most conditions. Donated bicycles are repaired, refurbished, and returned to the community through our clinic and bike giveaway efforts.

    Bike donations help provide affordable transportation to local residents and kids who may not otherwise have access to a bicycle.

    We also accept:

    • Bike parts

    • Helmets

    • Locks

    • Repair tools

    • Accessories

    Contact us through our website or Instagram to arrange a donation.

  • BikePoughkeepsie.org provides refurbished bicycles to children, families, and community members in need.

    Availability depends on donations and volunteer capacity, but our goal is to make bicycles accessible to as many people as possible.

    If you or someone you know needs a bike, reach out to us through our website or social channels.

  • Want to help?

    We’re always looking for volunteers who want to:

    • Learn bicycle repair skills

    • Help refurbish donated bikes

    • Support community events

    • Advocate for safer streets and better biking infrastructure

    No advanced mechanical experience is required.

  • Every repaired bike helps create a safer, healthier, and more connected community.

    Support our work by donating, volunteering, attending events, or helping spread the word about safe biking in Poughkeepsie.
