Join us at The Bike Hub on Sunday afternoon to become a used bicycle UpCycler extraordinaire! No Experience Necessary!
Who it's for:
Anyone who wants to help out their community by creating more cyclists! You just need to be curious about bikes, you do not need to know anything about mechanics! (sure I didn't have any before I joined and now I'm hosting these meetups!)
This is also a good meetup if you want to help us find donated bikes, recipient organizations, or general logistics of delivery. You can help without touching a single bike if that's your speed!
What to bring:
Clothes you do not mind getting dirty
Comfy shoes, you will be standing-walking on a wooden floor.
How it works:
- Get an orientation on the shop, where tools are, how we match bikes to recipients, and how we set up for the day.
- Grab a bike and put it on the stand! Learn how we assess newly donated bikes for repair and what the parts of the bike are called.
- Tinker! If you're experienced, you could probably jump right in on fixing what's broken. If you're not, we got you covered! We'll teach you the basics and make sure you're doing things right
- Clean up for the day
