  • The Bicycle Kitchen / La Bicicocina is an educational non-profit bicycle workspace in the Los Angeles neighborhood of East Hollywood. The Bicycle Kitchen serves and is served by its community, providing a place where people can use tools to empower themselves as bicycle mechanics. The Bicycle Kitchen promotes a do-it-yourself attitude to recycling and reuse. The educational experience is entirely hands-on and any instruction arises out of the interactions between clients and more knowledgeable volunteers. The Bicycle Kitchen also has a strong social aspect where strangers discover shared purpose and mutual respect. The Bicycle Kitchen is entirely run by volunteers and is supported by small individual donations from its everyday clients. Some clients support the Bicycle Kitchen through cash donations while many others donate their time and effort to help clean and organize the space. The community's continuing generosity means that no one need be turned away simply for lack of funds. The Bicycle Kitchen shares the culture of many traditional Bicycle Cooperatives and many of the most dedicated volunteers at the Los Angeles Bicycle Kitchen have been members of bicycle cooperatives in other parts of America and around the world. New volunteers are constantly joining the Bicycle Kitchen and while a knowledge of bicycle mechanics is helpful to volunteers it is not essential. The only real prerequisite is the willingness to engage with people of all backgrounds in a constructive and supportive way. Volunteering at the Bicycle Kitchen is not only a way to find and connect with individuals who are like minded and share your interests, but also it might help you to bridge across social divisions and to repair some of the damage caused by pervasive and ever increasing market driven social stratification. The Bicycle Kitchen is part of a larger do-it-yourself movement and shares many aspects of maker culture and open source culture. (en)
