Northside Bike Works Fixes Bikes and Builds a Neighbourhood

Marcus Bell is the owner of Northside Bike Works in Minneapolis, MN.

How It Started

I fixed bikes for friends in my alley until the city sent a polite letter about zoning.

What Makes It Different

Anyone can bring a bike in and fix it themselves on our stands, free, on Tuesday nights.

Proudest Moment

Our first kids’ clinic had six riders. Last month we had sixty.
