Programs

Build a Bike - We currently have free build a bike classes every Tuesday and Wednesday nights from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm. During the class, students will be given a bike to work on, and will receive much more direct interaction with a mechanic than they would during regular open shop hours. Students will learn how to overhaul every major section of the bicycle, and will have the option of purchasing their newly built bicycle at the end of a class. (Students take 2-4 classes to complete a bike on average) Please reserve your place ahead of time.
