The South Atlanta Bike Shop
South Atlanta Bike Shop is a non-profit youth development program in the Historic South Atlanta. Youth in our neighborhood, ages 11-18, can earn “shop bucks” by working in the bike shop and spend these to purchase bicycles, bicycle accessories, replacement parts and pay for bike trip registration fees.
In the process of earning a bicycles they acquire job readiness and leadership/management skills.
The donated bicycles we repair are placed for sale at affordable prices in our neighborhood thrift store: The South Atlanta Marketplace.
