Changing Gears is a non-profit community bike shop located on the former naval air station in Alameda, California. We are fiscally sponsored by Earth Island Institute in Berkeley.

Changing Gears offers used bicycle sales, full-service repairs, paid job training for formerly homeless adults, earn-a-bike opportunities for youth and adults, a community repair shop, and volunteer opportunities for all.

Our mission is to empower local communities by offering bicycle services that are safe, vibrant, creative, and self-sustaining.
