CRBH Community Workshops

The Community Workshop series at Chain Reaction Bike Hub is designed to empower community members by teaching essential bicycle maintenance skills.

Our hands-on workshops provide participants with the knowledge and confidence to perform general upkeep on their bikes, ensuring safe and smooth rides. This program fosters self-reliance, promotes sustainable transportation, and builds a supportive biking community.

Cost: Our workshops are free to attend and if a $10 (or any amount) suggested donation fits your budget, we gladly welcome it!

Registration: Workshops are limited to 10 participants, so get registered below!

Bikes: We highly encourage you to bring your own bike so you’re able to learn the techniques and tips on your personal rig. We’ve got plenty of bikes to practice on in case you need to borrow one.
