Recycle-a-Bike

Quick update on what’s happening at Recycle-a-Bike:

Wrenching Wednesdays had a great run, but is now CANCELED. Thanks to all of our volunteers and participants!

Open Shop is up and running. Tuesdays 6 – 9 pm. Stop by and fix your bike, access to all tools and a skilled mechanic to help you. $5/hr. $20/month membership and work/trade also available.

Volunteer Days and Nights Saturdays Noon – 4 pm and Weds. 6 – 9 pm. We’re preparing for remediation and have tons of sorting and bike tune-ups to do to ensure that our shop keeps its doors open and its services active. Drop by and help out.

We are looking for 20 milk crates and a set of large shelves (which can fit milk crates) to store our stuff. Please contact us to set up a time to donate if you have any of these items.

In preparation for our site remediation and new space, we are not currently accepting bike donations. We will let you know when we can again accept bikes or parts.

Happy biking!

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.
