In 2010, the University of Cincinnati created a campus bike shop to service the fleet of the Bearcat Bike Share and to provide an informal atmosphere for the UC community to learn about bike repair, bike safety, commuting, and to use the resources to do simple repairs on their own bikes.  Located in a former kitchen space of the old Faculty Club, the Bike Kitchen is open several days a week for anyone to stop by and ask questions. Bike workshops are part of the regular sustainability workshop series throughout the school year.

The Bike Kitchen is managed by the Office of Sustainability, and trained bike mechanics run the open shop hours.
