Every Tuesday, 6 to 8pm at 50 Sims Street. Come practice skills and get bikes ready to redistribute. We are going to be planning focused volunteer activities each week based on shop needs as well as rotating bike mechanics practice or, as always, come plug away on our many bicycles that need refurbishing. People of all levels of experience are welcome — we all have some learning to do!

Come by our weekly Open Hours from 6 to 8pm at 50 Sims Ave to work on your bike! We have tools, parts, and experienced mechanics on hand to teach you what you need to know to get your bike running well.

Our focus is on repairs and maintenance -- we want you to get your bike back out on the road! Something on your bike feel not quite right? Gears not shifting smoothly? Chain making an annoying squeaking sound? Bring it by! However, this isn't the right space for super involved projects (e.g. building a complete bike out of spare parts), and we occasionally won't have the resources on hand for particular repairs. In those cases we can point you in the right direction for your project!

No cost, but donations are always accepted.

Sin embargo, este no es el espacio adecuado para proyectos muy complicados (por ejemplo, construir una bicicleta completa con piezas), y ocasionalmente no tendremos los recursos disponibles para reparaciones particulares.

If you want to dive into maps and digital navigation tools, bring a laptop, phone, or tablet.
