This is an awesome bike shop the train young people how to maintain bicycles. They sell restored bikes and used bike parts at extremely reasonable prices
The guy taking the phone refused to let me speak to the manager after asking several times. I am not usually someone to complain but he really didn’t seem to care that I needed to speak to the manager. (They’re a great store and they seem like nice people).
Phoenix Bike's youth program, the Earn-a-Bike program, provides an exceptional educational experience. My son participated in the program, learning bike mechanic skills that he will remember forever. In this program at Phoenix, he created a bike from used parts and with the help of the Phoenix Bike's most amazing bike mechanic mentors. Once he completed the bike, Phoenix gives it to a community member in need and then they allow him to build a bike for himself. Phoenix and its staff of mechanic mentors (both paid and the volunteers) who helped him gain these skills are simply wonderful. I encourage anyone reading this to truly consider participating/volunteering for Phoenix Bikes. And if you can, I encourage you to donate as well. Thank you Phoenix Bikes.
Bicycling is more than just a sport; it is also a means of social justice. Providing access to a bicycle can have significant positive economic and health impacts for all.
The youth who refurbish the Give-a-Bikes learn about area non-profits/social service agencies who have clients who could benefit from receiving a bike and get to observe their hard work make a direct and positive impact on the lives of members of their community.

Phoenix Bikes is an Arlington nonprofit that uniquely combines youth educational programs with a full-service professional bike shop and retail store.
Our mission is to harness the power of bikes to help youth build passion, purpose and a place in the community.
Our friendly, full-service bike shop has the most affordable selection of both high-quality refurbished bikes and bike parts in the DC metro area.
From basic bike tune-ups to complete custom builds, we repair and refurbish bikes and provide mechanical services.
Youth ages 12-17 get free, hands-on instruction in building and repairing used bikes. This gives them exposure to retail work in our full-service bike shop and empowers them with skills and confidence to take into their futures – all while making bikes more accessible to our community.
When a local student comes through our shop doors, they learn more than just bike mechanics. They learn life skills and leadership lessons to help them grow into successful young adults. Your gift helps us to offer all of our programs 100% free, so all students – regardless of income level – can take part.
