Madison Freewheel Bicycle Co

Madison Freewheel Bicycle Co

We're a 501(c)3 charity, dedicated to transportation justice. We teach you how to fix your bicycle! Freewheel is a nonprofit bicycle and bike repair shop.

We teach bicycle classes, advocate for ridership, have an open shop, and host bicycle giveaways both at our shop and at libraries, community centers, and schools throughout Dane County. We operate the Madison Bike Center at 202 S Pinckney St. All proceeds from sales, service, and memberships at that location support our mission of free transportation for all!
