Open Shop:
The core of our program is our free, do-it-yourself workshop space. During Open Shop we offer tools, work space, and repair coaching to our visitors to help them maintain access to safe, affordable, sustainable transportation by bike. But do-it-yourself doesn’t mean you have to do it alone: our staff and volunteer mechanics are there to put the right tools in your hands and guide you through any repair. We have many used parts available at little to no cost and new parts for sale to complete just about any repair. We offer these services for free, but donations from those who can afford it are appreciated and go a long way towards sustaining our efforts.

Youth Shop:
We make our Open Shop services available to youth at certain times, which are listed on our calendar page. Unaccompanied youth visitors must have a signed parent or guardian permission slip in order enter the shop, use any tools, or volunteer. We may not be able to assist unaccompanied minors or accomodate youth volunteers outside of our listed Youth Shop hours.

Bike Sales:
Fixing up and selling donated bicycles is one of our biggest sources of funding. We have a variety of used bicycles for sale and the proceeds go right back into our free educational Open Shop programming. Our refurbished bikes are fixed up by our staff and volunteer mechanics and are generally sold at or below fair market value.

Repair Services:
We offer professional repair services to those who are not interested or not able to  work on their own bike. Our labor rate is $40/hour and our minimum is $10, which does not include the cost of parts. All proceeds from our repair services go right back into our free educational open shop program. While some minor repairs, such as replacing an inner tube or a quick brake adjustment can be performed same day, our normal turn around time would be a week.

Work Trade:
At present “Work Trade” opportunities are not available, though we may offer that in the future.

Bike Rescue/Recycling:
We accept bicycle donations in any condition. Some we refurbish to sell at market value to sustain our programming and some we provide to resource-scarce patrons through work-trade or sales. Others we may have to send to the scrap-yard for recycling.

Permanent Outdoor Pump and Workstand:
We have a tire pump and workstand outfitted with basic tools outside our workshop that is available for anyone to use when the shop is closed.
