Work on your bike in a relaxed, social atmosphere. Participants share tips and an instructor will be there to help. The instructor's ability to assist you will be limited by time and the total number of participants. Participants should be familiar with the repairs they plan to work on.Come on out, fix your bike, get some grease on your hands, and ride off with a better bike and more know-how than you had when you arrived!
The shop gets busy! Please be mindful of those waiting for a stand and do your repairs in a timely fashion. You must take your bicycle with you at the end of the workshop whatever its condition, so please keep in mind the total time required for your project before you begin. Open Shop ends at 6pm!
Tools and bike stands are provided. You may purchase parts and accessories from our sales shop, Ciclo Urbano.
No sign up needed, just show up! Use the side entrance to the shop at 1147 N. Campbell.
Show up before 5pm if you plan to work on your bike!
If you're not familiar with West Town Bikes, it's highly recommended that you first attend a Basic Bike Maintenance class on Monday night to become familiar with the shop and make best use of the space and time
Please make an appropriate donation for the time you spend working at West Town Bikes. Bike shops charge up to $60 an hour for service and mechanics are paid $10 or more per hour on average. Please keep this in mind considering the amount of time and work you do while at West Town Bikes. There are few places that give public access to a pro shop, please support this resource.
Like Chopper Carl sez... "If there's a tool in your hand, put some cash in the can!"
