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!
Great experience! There was a mixup with the bike we purchased, but they make it right. They are knowledgeable, genuine, and affordable.
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.
When I was homeless & in deep need of cheap transportation SOPO provided me a great used bicycle for free with proof of being homeless
Excellent service and questions answered
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.
Excellent place to get your bike serviced. Really good people, and part of the community
Good prices, all different styles .
Still going strong after all these years. The new location is great.
This place is absolutely amazing it is a true blessing to have a place such as this available to the public not only is it affordable in Friendly and a good environment but its also an exceptional learning experience anything you want to learn you can and Ive had nothing but good experiences and I would rate it five stars anywhere anytime to anyone!
I have been a volunteer at Sopo for over a year. The shop is a critical piece of the atlanta cycling community.
Super neat place. The new location has no air, so its super got and stifling in the heat. People are willing to help, just have to ask.
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 wont do the work for you, but if you dont know what youre 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.
Really friendly and knowledgeable
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.Ive 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 dont 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, youre 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.
Great place to fix your bike. The staff are friendly and very helpful. They helped me fix my breaks, gears, & trued my wheels. Learned a lot!
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
Always a great time
Amazing resource for everyone!
Absolutely amazing place Ive never seen anything like it they help teach you how to repair your bike yourself and its only donations required
A great small community of bicyclists! They really care about everyone who visits, and make it easy to repair your own bike cheaply.
Very pleasurable experience, a breath of fresh air.
Kool folks great help and requested donation aint too bad.....(id still luv to have those shimano wheels)
So nice, people who are really into bicycles and will go that extra mile, so you can go that extra mile.
