Owner John Martin and his team are making the world better one bike at a time ! They put me back on the road for one fifth what a new parts bike shop would have to charge. They recycle donated bikes....We take donated bikes, fix them up, and get them out to people who need them....Volunteers and mechanics at the Bradley Street Bicycle Co-op repair all the bikes and get them ready for donation or for sale. Some get sold as affordable used bikes for people to commute on. Some are donated to organizations who work with adults trying to get a job, trying to get to work, or trying to just get around the city....New Haven and Connecticut beyond has a particularly acute need to address income inequality – our city has the sixth greatest income inequality of all cities in the United States....

Love this place, love the people who make it happen, and love them bikes they sell. I bought my first bike ever here, a vintage frame made custom by a maker that no longer exists. Their help with repairs and such is also great. I wouldnt go anywhere else in New Haven unless I wanted major, major modifications.

Such a welcoming and friendly environment. Not only do they attend to your bike needs but they’re super informative and the place is overall welcoming and enjoyable. I highly recommend you come here for all your bike needs.P.S: loved my experience so much I decided to volunteer here!

Danielle is very professional and I appreciate it very much! If I were smart, Id buy my bike from them. It was too late when I figured out that I got scammed on Facebook market place.

These people are great. If a place like this exists, its a positive indicator about the health of the local community and civics. Go there, participate however you can/want, get what you need.

I bought a used bike here for less than $300 and its in great shape thanks to their shop. This is a unique community resource that I think is very worth visiting and supporting. It seems like a great community as well if you want to volunteer.

This place is great if you want to fix your bike for cheap and dont mind getting your hands dirty. They offer lots of used parts at cost and use of their tools for next to nothing. Plus, their volunteers will give you pointers on what to do.

Get inexpensive repairs to your bicycle where you pay ten dollars to do it yourself with the help of experienced volunteers guiding you, along with use of tools, equipment and mechanics bike stand. Discounted parts are extra. The Co-op also sells quality used but refurbished roadworthy bikes which are usually priced between $150 to $300. This place is generally staffed with helpful people doing wonderful things to put more people on bikes, and regularly charitably donates many bikes to adults and children in need.

I randomly googled a bike shop in the area when my bike broke during a ride. They were the only ones open and thank goodness! The co-op style meant that I got to help and learn during the repair process. Very reasonable prices and you walk away with a fixed bike and more knowledge!
