The Krys Fund

On March 15th, Krys was hit by a car here in Brooklyn.  After major surgery, she is unable to walk, work or ride her bike.  Her rehab period will be extensive. Krys was 718 Cyclery's first employee, and is the kind of person who would help others at a moment's notice.  She is also the kind of person who would never dream of asking for help...


I am not that kind of person...please donate what you can to help offset the costs of her not being able to work.

 

Welcome

718 Cyclery is founded on the principle that we are practitioners of 100+ year old technology, not the guardians of it. Nothing that we do isn't so proprietary or secret that a visitor cant peek over our shoulder or ask a question. Our shop is a place where arrogance and attitude have no place. Approaching us with a question shouldn't be as if approaching an altar occupied by the high and mighty. We work with metal and rubber, and will gladly explain our process to you. We are most proud of our integrity and reputation

Collaborative Builds

Pioneers of the Collaborative Bike Build

 

"Products are made so that replacement is far easier than repair. We just throw them away. As we all move towards becoming information workers, (folks who work at nice large firms, sit in front of a monitor or 2, and produce nothing you can touch), the desire to work with ones hands becomes magnified. It took me 13 years in front of that aforementioned monitor before I realized I needed to build with my hands again."
