This is not a bike shop, but a bicycle coop where you can come and use their tools to fix your own bike, for a small donation. I really wanted to like this place, as I try to do my own bike maintenance and investing in good tools is expensive. I've been to the shop 2 times, and both times, the place is just chaos. Some volunteers are nice and helpful, but others are just rude and unhelpful. Contrary to what you might think, they don't have all the specialist tools necessary to fix each and every part on a modern bike properly. The tools they do have, I could easily buy myself (some wrenches, allen keys and a rubber mallet,...). Unfortunately, you're better off watching a Youtube video tutorial and buying some tools, or going to a proper bike shop, rather than bothering with this place. The guy that was leaving as I walked in during my last visit asked me "Where is the nearest bike shop around here?" Enough said. Too bad. A well-run bike coop would be great. This is not that.

Mr. Dana is the (Man) I Thank and Praise God For Mr. Dana. I was having a VERY HARD TIME WITH A BIKE. Then Mr. Dana showed me what to do. Mr. Dana is the (MAN) NEW UPDATE.... Saturday March 4, 2023 I returned to Sopo and the next thing I knew another worker name Mr. Travis was helping a customer. It was almost closing time. I noticed that Mr. Travis kept right on helping that customer. Then Mr. Travis turned right around and helped me. Another worker name Mr. Sam helped me as well. You know when it's closing time people want to go home. Mr. Travis went that Extra Mile to help me. Thank God For Mr. Travis and for Mr. Sam.

Wow. What an humbling experience for me! Here i am expecting to go in, donate a bike then get someone to fix mine. NOPE! My understanding of a cooperative was a tad off. I spent about 2 hour tinkering with my bike with verbal help and occasionally physical help from local volunteers. No one person in the place was an expert, and at any given point would chime in on what you needed to do or should do to fix your bike. As a child, I watched my dad tinker with my bike so I never had to. Now, I have the confidence and some new found skills to at least TRY it myself. And get this... supplies are free! Just be sure to donate.

They ask for a suggested donation of $5 per hour and $5 per part. They have all the tools necessary and tons of extra parts. I went in to put a rack on my new-to-me bicycle and make some adjustments to make it more comfy. I believe everyone working there were volunteers. They were super helpful and made sure to correct mistakes I was making. They won't do the work for you, but if you don't know what you're doing, they are happy to help and to teach. They also have a bunch of bikes for sale. I feel so lucky to have a place like this in my town.

  • Forrest Byrd

Get used bikes, parts and accessories... All at great prices. Some repairs, too. Currently, they are only open 3 hours per week, Sunday only, from 12P to 3P. And, well worth the limited open hours. I go there almost every Sunday to get upgraded parts for my bikes, and maybe get another great bike!

  • Will Godwin

Amazing institution filled with used parts and knowledge friendly staff. I was able to change out my pedals but they also checked out my bearings and chain rings. It’s a mix of DIY for common stuff and staff help for bigger fixes. All donation based. I will be back!

  • Levon Wright

Me and my homegirl said used to ride our bikes here and get them fixed and work on them together the guys that work there really know how to help you learn how to fix your own bike I was very satisfied with everybody that was around the guys there seems really nice

  • Jean Ann Meier

The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. They teach you how to maintain your own bike rather than just doing it for you. Excellent place to shop for bikes, bike parts, and sometimes random accessories they might have.

  • Kevin DeMarco

Sopo is an amazing non-profit organization that sells used bicycles and helps community members repair their bicycles. If you have extra bicycles or parts you want to get rid of, think about donating them to Sopo.

  • Andrew Arami

This place is great, I went in looking for something specific, found it, paid a reasonable price for it, made a donation. I wish I could volunteer here, they defonately need the help. It was quite busy.
