==== Mission Statement ====
SBK is a community-centered bicycle shop serving the residents of Sacramento, California. The organization has been formed in order to promote cycling as a low-cost, alternative form of transportation; enable self-sufficiency through knowledge of bicycle maintenance; and promote bicycle safety through education and classes.

[[Image:SBK_-_Scrollwork_Logo.png|thumb|Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen]]

The '''Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen''' is a non-profit, volunteer run organization dedicated to teaching people how to fix their own bikes. We offer a place to learn and teach all things bicycle to all members of the community.

==Shop structure==
The Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen operates with a figurehead Board of Directors, composed of the legally required officers: President, Secretary, and Treasurer. This group has delegated all policy and management to a "Core" group of around a dozen volunteers holding special assignments (financial coordination, shift management, volunteer coordination, and so on). Consistent volunteers are invited to a "staff" group of anywhere from 20 to 50 volunteers.

All other persons in the shop are "patrons." Patrons are expected to donate money or time in exchange for the Bike Kitchen's services.

===Keys===
In general, the Core list is congruent with the list of non-vendor keyholders.

==Services Offered==
===DIY maintenance===
Tools and a stand are provided (a $5 donation is recommended) to anyone looking to borrow tools to work on their bike. For most shifts, volunteers are available to answer any maintenance questions and help ensure patrons learn mechanical skills at no extra charge.

===Sales===
Donated used parts are available. Generic parts are each sold for $5 or less, with higher-end parts priced according to value and condition.

The daily shop manager sets all prices for parts on any given day, Used tubes are given away, but are uninspected and any patches necessary to fix a tube are available if the tube will be patched in-shop.

Donated used bikes are available, priced based on the bike's operating condition and level of quality. Again, the shop manager is the arbiter of what a particular bike will cost, and he or she takes into account a wide range of variables including age, condition, and work already done in our shop, as well as work that might still need to be done on a given bicycle.

No tools are sold. No new parts are sold other than cables, housing, rim tape, headset spacers, and a few other minor items.

===Mobile fixery===
A small mobile unit is set up to provide basic maintenance at festivals and special events. Most mobile repairs are done by volunteers, rather than by patrons. Used parts are not available from the mobile fixery.

==History==
The Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen started in early 2006 with a post to the internet forum CraigsList. It quickly grew into an an actual shop working out of the BrickHouse's space on Broadway in Oak Park in June, 2006. After two years of solvency and serving an underprivileged community in Oak Park, the shop moved to a more centralized space in midtown,opening up the option of special events with midtown's signature "Second Saturday". Operations at the new shop began with a big Second Saturday party in January, 2009.

While we endeavor to assist the homeless in our neighborhood with repairs, our original earn-a-bike program proved unmanageable, and we now donate those bikes to Cycles 4 Hope, a local organization that specifically targets the homeless community with outreach events for repair and bike give aways.

The ''Community Bicycle Organization'' template ensures that all [[Community Bicycle Organizations|community bicycle organizations]] have a page with similar content, and more importantly that the articles are categorized properly.

== Updating to the Current Standard ==
If you have seen a warning on your organization's page, you probably don't meet the current standard but it may have changed since you last edited it. If there have been major changes, the easiest way to update is to simply edit the article and load the new boilerplate. You should probably copy your old text first as loading a new boilerplate will replace all of the text in the document. Then plug in your old information into the new page.

If there have been only minor changes, you may find it easier to compare using the template as it is shown below.

== The Template ==
If you were to load the boilerplate into a new page, the page would have the following content:

==History==
The Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen started in early 2006 with a post to the internet forum CraigsList. It quickly grew into an an actual shop working out of the BrickHouse's space on Broadway in Oak Park in June, 2006. After two years of solvency and serving an underprivileged community in Oak Park, the shop moved to a more centralized space in midtown, picking up a different underprivileged community (an unofficial slogan is "fleecing hipsters to help the homeless") and opening up the option of special events with midtown's signature "Second Saturday". Operations at the new shop began with a big Second Saturday party in January, 2009.
