Local Bike Shop NFK is an open-concept, community oriented bike workshop offering full service bike repairs, custom vintage and new bike builds and bike-friendly events and group rides.

Nestled in the heart of Norfolk, Virginia, our family-owned bike shop is driven by passion, purpose, and a love for two wheels. We breathe new life into forgotten bicycles, rescuing them from landfills and putting them back on the road—where they belong. Every repair, every restoration, and every ride we make possible is fueled by our deep commitment to the community. We believe in the power of bikes to bring people together, create sustainable change, and make the world a little better—one ride at a time.
