With the warm March weather returning this week, it’s not too early to start getting your bike ready to ride.
If you need assistance with a tune-up or are looking to work on your bike yourself, we can help.
We still have very limited space indoors due to Covid restrictions, but you can call/email us to make an appointment for our Monday afternoon repair timeslots: 2pm – 6pm. Outdoor assistance is also possible, weather permitting.

Hello James – we don’t work on the motors or batteries, but we can help with general bike repairs such as brakes, and tune-ups on the non-motorized functions of the bike. We sell parts for reduced rates, can help you learn how to fix your bike, and generally work off of donations for our repair time. Stop by our community bike-repair program some Monday afternoon from 2pm-5:30pm. These are the weekly hours for the bike program.

Do you have any adult classes for learning bicycle mechanics? Or know of anyone who does classes?

Hello – we don’t have any formal classes for bike repair, but you are welcome to come in and help out & learn some skills during our normal program hours on Mondays, from 2pm – 6pm.
Not sure if there are any real bike repair classes elsewhere in our area. There is a ton of repair information online, however (youtube videos, etc).
