I have zero experience with bikes and wanted to refurbish a bike for my son. I learned how to replace the chain and both brake cables and adjust the brakes, and ensure the bike was safe and functioning smoothly. The volunteer mechanic was knowledgeable and patient, providing clear instructions that allowed me to work and learn at a comfortable pace. It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon in a safe, respectful learning environment. It felt good to present my son with his first BMX bike, all fixed up by Mom!
I have gone here a few times now, and each time i have been really happy with the help I have received and the facilities. One suggestion, I try to bring my own rags because they sometimes run short. I intend to head there again in the next few days, and I am sure that it will be as useful as always.
Volunteer mechanics help you fix your bike. Used and new parts are available for a very low cost. It is very busy in the summer. This is a great way to learn how to maintain your own bike.
Awesome place to fix your bike and learn along the way! So basically I know absolutely nothing about bikes or bike maintenance. I can pump up my tires and have changed the tubes once or twice. The service from all the helpers was awesome. I'm sure it was frustrating trying to watch me do anything but they were all very patient and incredibly helpful. I think about six different people helped me out which was awesome.I love this place and can't wait to go back to do more to my bike!
Not a traditional Bike Shop - you learn to fix your own bike with help from volunteers. There are three great things about this (1) you learn how to fix your own bike (2) it is very inexpensive vs having a bike shop do it for you (3) you don't have to wait days/weeks to get your bike back. I've learned to fix all kinds of things on my bikes, even how to build a bike up right from a frame! They have all the tools to do anything I could imagine on a bike, and great knowledgeable volunteers. Every time I go to do something on my bike, I'm shocked how inexpensive it is and put an extra $20 in the donation bin.
