Women & Trans Open Shop- 1st and 3rd Thurdays of the month 6pm-9pm
We aim to provide an open shop night welcoming those who typically feel like a gender minority in bike mechanics or in a bike shop setting. Women and Trans Night is an open shop night that strives to create gender equality and social justice in the shop setting.
Women, trans and friends are welcome to bring their bikes to the shop for a tune-up or partake in our Earn-A-Bike program, while gaining bike mechanics skills and meeting fellow RABbers.
The shop is open every 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month from 6pm-9pm.

Recycle-a-Bike blurb:
Besides the most obvious qualities of the bicycle; that it is the most efficient and fun forms of transportation, that it is a source of immense freedom and leisure, that it is economical and has utilitarian beauty, the bicycle has an even more interesting and admirable role in history, economics, politics and society. The bicycle has served as a great emancipator, a social equalizer, and a people liberator all over the world. The depth of importance of the bicycle is DEEP!
Recycle-a-Bike will facilitating a conversation about exploding bike culture in the USA, how bikes can change the world, benefits of appropriate technology, bike advocacy, community engagement, communities that have successful integrated biking systems, and basic bicycle anatomy. Please join us for the revolution!
