We currently have enough volunteers so that every client can work and learn from a mechanic. We also offer a full series of classes and certification to our volunteers in return for their great work with the community. 25% of our clients are women. We have a 50/50 mix Latino/Caucasian,lots of kids come in, and a serious mix of incomes. In short - Everyone Is Welcome to come get excited about bikes!

-Come over, bring your bike, and sign in. Then pair up with a volunteer mechanic, put the bike in a stand and work together on it using our tools. We bring everything to the sight on our bike trailer, so we have limited parts and supplies. We're always biking back to the home garage to get used parts. It's cool though. Stuff gets fixed, people learn, we have fun. It's a $7 per hour donation, used and new parts for sale, and soon - used bikes for sale. We offer mechanic classes to our volunteers, and soon to the public as well.
