Need a comfortable place to learn how to change a flat or overhaul your bottom bracket? Want to wield a wrench in a non-patriarchal environment? Then check out Women and Trans night at WTB!
This Open Shop is for the women and trans-gendered bike-lovers ONLY!
Stop by West Town Bikes every Wednesday from 7-10 PM for Women's shop night. Bring your bike project, from brake adjustments to squeaky hubs, and your willingness to learn. Women instructors are on hand to assist as you use the tools and ask questions. 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. Beverages and snacks are encouraged!
No sign up needed, just show up! Use the side entrance to the shop at 1147 N. Campbell.
Be no later than 9pm if you plan to work on your bike.
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!

I might actually have something to work on for once. Will update if I receive my brake lever in time.
