Community Bike Shop

Do-It-Yourself Bike Repair

Our shop is accessible to the public, and to members by drop-in or by appointment during our business hours. Appointments are not necessary, and you can drop in any time we’re open.

Learning to fix your bicycle is an empowering experience. Our friendly staff and volunteer mechanics can assist you in competing basic maintenance, tricky repairs, and total bicycle overhauls! We operate a professionally-equipped workshop with five repair stations. Each station includes a bicycle stand and the basic tools needed for most repairs. Additional tools are accessible on master tool boards and we have two truing stands for your use.

Unlimited use of the DIY Repair program is included in a membership. If you cannot afford a membership, please let us know and we can waive these fees in full, or in part.
