Women's Open Shop at West Town Bikes

Are you not quite sure what that clanking is, or why your brakes don't work, but nervous about bringing your bike into the bike shop? Would you rather learn to do your own repairs so you don't have to shell out the money for bike shop repairs? Are you just tired of coming to Tuesday night open shops and waiting for a workstand?

You can learn how to take care of your bike in a women-friendly space where you can learn from other women who've learned to take bike repair into their own hands. Bring a bike, friends, good tunes, or bring the knowledge if you have it already - the more the merrier!

All skill levels and interests are welcome. Beverages and snacks are encouraged. Donations are appreciated. (Sorry, no men allowed.)

First and third Wednesdays, every month.
7-10pm, at West Town Bikes (2418 W. North Ave.)
Enter thru the alley.


Next one: This Wednesday, 1/7 from 7-10pm

I need to stop by here. I want to learn how to take my bike apart for shipping and put it back together myself. I don't know if I can make it this week but it's definitely on my to-do list.
