"Adult Classes & Workshops

Our classes and workshops offer fun, friendly, and accessible bike education to people 18 years old and up! Whether you’re interested in a seven-week bike repair course, or a one-time workshop, we have something for everyone!

Classes take place in the Bike Works Warehouse (3715 S Hudson St #111, Lower Level East Entrance, Seattle, WA 98118). Masks are encouraged to protect those most vulnerable in our community, but they are not required in our space.

Due to the high demand for class series, starting April 21st 2026 we are moving our registration system from open enrollment to a lottery system. Sign-up for the lottery will remain open for 2 days starting at 2pm, after which folks will be notified of the results. Recipients will have a week to register for the class, after which any unclaimed registrations will be returned to our reservation system to select other applicants. Applicants who do not receive a registration link will have increased odds for the next lottery signup, provided the signup information remains consistent between sign-ups.

We open registration for workshops and classes quarterly. If you do not see a registration button next to a class below, please check back later!

Our 2026 Season schedule will be posted this fall. We will offer two BR201, two BR101 (open enrollment), one BR101 (TWIG), and one BR101 (BIPOC).

Can’t sign up for a workshop or bike repair class? Check out our Open Shop program, which happens every 2nd & 4th Saturday from 1-5pm, year-round!

NOTE: As of Feb 2025, Friday Open Shops are cancelled until further notice.

Class Tuition
All of our programming is pay what you can afford, with options to offset the full cost by volunteering at Bike Works.
Learn about tuition & work trade

Workshops
Workshops are a great way to learn about your bike without committing to a seven-week bike repair course. Participants will focus on one topic, and should bring in their own (non-electric) bike. If you are unable to bring your bike, Bike Works is happy to provide one for you.

A limited selection of tools, replacement parts and accessories will be available for purchase at workshops, however, we might not have everything you need. Students are encouraged to bring in their own parts if they are looking to replace anything specific, or email their instructor beforehand. We will do our best to accommodate you and your bike!"

The Cure, Hang On a Second, 2023 on Mind Control

Photography from Seattle

For several years I’ve been attending the Art of Retreat events in North America. Originally they were held in New York City, but the latest three were held outside of Seattle. I’ve been recording conversations for Art of Retreat’s own podcast over the years. If you’re interested in what goes on behind the scenes, I tried to unpack some of it over on a topic in the Podcaster Community, Field Recordings at Art of Retreat 2022.

I have a habit of trying to capture interesting photos from airplane windows. Often it’s solar or weather phenomenon, but on this trip out to Seattle I was surprised to see these forest fires. Fortunately, they weren’t very close to where the event was held, but “fire fog” was thing during much of the time I spent in Seattle and all of the time at the event.

A few shots from the location where the event was held…

And one last random shot from a cool, mushroom–infused coffee spot in Seattle, Wundergrond Coffee.

Random, but fun photos — hope you enjoyed them.
