2nd Cycle
Building a world where the joy of bike riding is accessible to everyone.
Who we are
Second Cycle is a 501(c)(3) community cycle center supporting, educating, and advocating for cyclists in Hilltop and the surrounding Tacoma community. We strive to make cycling a normal part of daily life and see bicycles as powerful tools for personal and community empowerment.
We provide a space for people to work on their bikes, learn valuable skills, and connect with fellow cycling enthusiasts. We take pride in accepting donations of bikes and funds, which allow us to repair used bikes and redistribute them to those in need, often at no cost. Fully built refurbished bikes are also available for purchase at our shop.
our 2nd cycle staff
We welcome everyone regardless of race, age, culture, ability, ethnicity or nationality, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, marital status, religious affiliation, and socioeconomic status. We ask that visitors to our shop respect the space and respect the people in the space. There is no place for discrimination in our shop or organization.​​​​​​​​​​​​
From casual rides to big community gatherings, our year-round events bring people together around bikes, learning, and active transportation. Check our calendar to see what's coming up, we'd love to see you there.
Our shop is not your typical bike shop, it is a hub for hands-on learning, community, and accessible transportation. Browse our selection of affordable, quality recycled bikes, or pick out parts and build your own. Whatever brings you in, we're here to help you ride.
The R&R Center is where donated bikes, parts, and gear get a second life. Volunteers, interns, and members work by side to refurbish bikes for our shop floor, tackle personal projects, and learn from experienced mechanics. We accept donations of bikes, parts, and cycling apparel, keeping more out of landfills and more bikes on the road.
Everyone deserves access to a bicycle, regardless of age, background, or income. Our programs work to lower barriers, build skills, and empower riders of all kinds across Tacoma and Pierce County. Find the program that's right for you.
