Bike Repair & Safety Education
For over 10 years Bici Libre was located in the MacAurthur Park area of Los Angeles
We are currently looking for a new location to be open daily, please help us with our popup repair projects and finding a new location.
Bici Libre Repair Clinics are free bicycle repair assistance by volunteers to fix flat tires, brakes, chains and more on bikes and wheels on other rolling mobility devices. Participants can choose to help fix their own bike or have a volunteer fix their bike. Some new or used parts can be offered at low or no cost.

- Initially called the Bike Wrangler Space the mostly Latino Volunteers decided to change the name.
- Bici is short for Bicicleta and translates to Bicycle
- Libre translates to liberated or free/freedom
- Bici Libre is an idea of freedom through the bicycle felt by many cyclists as they move faster than walking, less expensive than the bus and far less expensive than a car, as well as an enjoyable way to get exercise.
- We give away bikes to people who need a bike but can’t afford basic necessities.
