Connecting Community and Cycling
![]() LBK is an all-volunteer nonprofit bike cooperative supported by donations (bikes, parts, monetary). Our mission is to provide - at no cost - bikes, repairs and education to all. We appreciate everyone who generously donates to LBK and thank you for your support.
Every donation made May 1-24 through Give to Lincoln makes a bigger impact because participating nonprofits also get a proportional share of a $500,000 match fund provided by Lincoln Community Foundation and generous sponsors. |
We had a great 2022 at LBK thanks to our dedicated volunteers, helpful community partners, and generous donors. Click the image to the right to see a higher-resolution version.

The Lincoln Bike Kitchen is a community-building organization that provides bicycles and related resources to all people. We advocate for utilitarian bicycling as a vital part of a healthy, equitable and sustainable community. We connect cycling to broader environmental and social issues through outreach, and education. Growing Our Mission LBK has donated over 700 bikes this year. Our goal is to reach 1000 bikes distributed, including a helmet and cable lock with each bike. Our success has been so overwhelming we are splitting at the seams and have outgrown our current space. We can't sustain this pace unless we find a new location. If you know of a possible space for repairs, office work and storage, contact us so we can continue helping kids be kids by matching them with a gently used bike.
