Working Bikes is an organization that rehabs bicycles in Chicago and sells them to the public at an afforadable price. The money from bicycle sales is then used to fund shipments of bikes and parts to developing countries throughout the world.

This place is great if you want to find a cheap bike. I found a bike here two years ago and still ride it today - it was only $40! Sure it's not as fabulous as a brand new road bike from a shop, but it gets the job done. The best part is that you actually feel good about your purchase since it goes to a great cause. I recommend this place to all my friends, but make sure you get there early especially in the summer, lines form before the storefront even opens and bikes sell out fast!
