REGULAR PROGRAMS
Tuesdays: Wrench Learn and Give
More information coming soon!
Wednesdays and Thursdays: Volunteer Night – 5 PM to 8 PM
Volunteer Nights mostly involve working on tuning up donated bikes for our Kids Bike Giveaways and Garage Sale events, sorting used parts, and cleaning and maintaining the warehouse and workshop spaces.
You do not need mechanic experience to volunteer, we look forward to helping you develop your skills!
Note: Third Wednesday of each month is reserved for WTF! Night, see the calendar at the bottom of this page for more details
Sundays: DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Open Shop – 12 PM to 5 PM
Does your bike need some love and you want to do the repairs yourself? Stop in during our open shop time! Staff and volunteers can help you learn how to do what needs doing, and we have used parts for sale for those who need them.
We appreciate donations in exchange for use of the space if you’re able. Donation proceeds go to our nonprofit programming. Give what you can, receive what you need!
Space is limited during busy times — first come, first served!
3rd Wednesday of the month: WTF! Night
