Open Shop!

Tuesdays 6-9 pm in the Bike Room at The Steel Yard
$5/hour or $20 for a monthly membership

Open Shop is the time to come in to repair your bicycle. You will have access to all our tools, a stand, as well as a skilled mechanic to assist you. We have three work stations, a truing stand, as well as some minor replacement parts. We suggest that if you need new parts that you bring them with you or talk to us ahead of time to see if we have what you need, as this is not the best time to find used parts. Stand time can also be earned with volunteer hours (one hour working for one hour at Open Shop), you must volunteer the hours prior to Open Shop, please e-mail us to set up a time to volunteer.

See Programs.

Tonight we ran our bike valet service at the open house for Legend Bicycle. Lots of fun and nice bikes. Pictured are Hoshaiah and Martin helping Dick from U.S. Open Cycling. If you’d like to have Recycle-a-Bike run a bike valet at your event, contact us at info@recycleabike.org.

It’s springtime. That means a few things.
1. You no longer have an excuse to not ride a bicycle in New England.
2. We have a lot of preparation to do at Recycle-a-Bike.
3. We’re going to be having regular work sessions Saturdays noon to 4 at The Steel Yard (pending fair weather), while enjoying day-old bread and pastries generously donated by Seven Stars Bakery.

So come lend a hand. You can trade in volunteer hours to earn bikes and/or parts. But note, if there is water and/or electricity coming from the sky, the work day is canceled.
