Open shop
Grab a stand, borrow the tools, and a volunteer will talk you through it. Used parts are priced to move.
This week at 1017 N. 7th Ave
Bring the bike. We've got the tools.
Fix it yourself with a volunteer mechanic beside you. Stand time is free; we suggest $5 if you can.

What happens here
Three ways through the roll-up door
Wednesdays 5–8 PM
Femme & trans night
Open shop for women, trans and nonbinary people, with women and trans mechanics on the floor.
Four Monday evenings
Earn-a-Bike
Learn the basics on a donated bike, then ride it home. Free, for anyone 12 and up.
Why a co-op
We'd rather teach you than fix it for you
A shop repair on a flat costs $20 in most of Tucson. Here it costs a used tube at $3 and ten minutes of your time, and next time you won't need us.
Every mechanic on the floor is a volunteer. Some are retired engineers, some are students, some came in for Earn-a-Bike a year ago and never left.
- Goathead flats fixed in ten minutes, tube included for $3
- Used tires from $8, used wheels from $15
- Nobody turned away for lack of money

At the stand
Most nights I barely touch a tool. I hold the wheel, I point, and I tell people to back it off a quarter turn.
From the shop
News off the whiteboard
Hours
We're opening at 6 AM again next summer
Last June's early shop hours were the busiest we've ever had. They're coming back May 1.
Kids
Ninety kids' bikes ready for the swap
The Friday refurb crew outdid itself. Sizes 12 to 24 inch, with helmets.
Shop
A new wheel-truing stand, thanks to Rosalind
Rosalind Antone paid for it with three Saturdays of yard sales on her street. She has opinions on spoke tension.
Open shop starts Tuesday at 5
Bring the bike, even if it's only the flat.
