History
SBK started in early 2006 with a post to the internet forum CraigsList. It quickly morphed into an an actual shop on Broadway in Oak Park in the middle of 2006. After two years of solvency and building a thriving community in Oak Park, the Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen moved out of the cramped shop to seek more (and more centralized) space. We signed a lease for our current midtown location on Nov. 20, 2008 and officially opened in the new space at 1915 I Street with a big Second Saturday party in January, 2009. We've been growing strong since then!
