Open shop
Your bike, our tools, a mechanic at your elbow
Sign in at the front bench, grab a stand, and tell whoever's in the orange apron what's wrong.
At the stand
A typical repair, start to finish
Step 1: Sign in
Write your name and the bike's problem on the whiteboard. If all twelve stands are busy, you're next.
Step 2: Get a stand
A volunteer shows you the tool wall and stays close. Ask anything, as many times as you need.
Step 3: Do the work
Most repairs take twenty minutes to an hour. Brakes and gears take longer the first time.
Step 4: Pay what you can
Stand time is free; we suggest $5. Parts are priced on the list. Nobody leaves on a broken bike for lack of money.
Price list
Used parts, roughly
Everything is used and checked by a volunteer. New parts are at cost.
Prices as of October 2026
Volunteers can trade their hours for parts: one shift earns $15 in shop credit.
Open shop hours
Are we open?
Sign-in closes 30 minutes before we do, so there's time to finish.

Before you ask
Before you wheel it in
Can you just fix it for me?
Usually not. We're a teaching shop. If you can't do the work because of your hands, eyesight or anything else, tell us and a volunteer will do it with you watching.
Is it safe to leave my bike?
Bikes in progress can stay overnight on the back rack, tagged with your name. We aren't responsible for them, but nothing has gone missing in years.
Do you work on e-bikes?
Brakes, tires and chains, yes. Motors and batteries, no. We'll point you to someone who does.
