The collective was founded by individuals interested in expanding access to bikes, bike parts, and bike repair. During open shop hours, patrons may learn to fix their own bike or work on a bike they've selected through our Build-a-Bike program. With the Build-a-Bike program, individuals select a bike and learn to recondition it with the guidance of shop staff and volunteers. Patrons also visit the shop to buy used parts or connect with other cyclists.
