Shop Manual

This manual, originally started by the Ohio City Bicycle Co-op, is a collaborative effort designed to help you have a better time volunteering. It's much easier to have a good time if the job you're doing is easier, and we hope to make it easier by providing explanations that you can use to learn new tasks or remember how to do ones you've done before. Enjoy!
