Looking for a fun and meaningful way to give back to the community? Join us for the first volunteer night of 2025! Whether you're a seasoned bike mechanic or just someone who loves bikes and wants to help out, we welcome you to come and lend a hand.

Generally, on scrap nights we take apart bikes and salvage some components for reuse. However our scrap pile is currently quite low, so we’ll be doing some shop organization and preparing for 2025 projects this time. This is a great opportunity to learn about bikes and Chain Reaction while enjoying good company. No experience or RSVP is necessary!

What to Expect:  Various projects are always taking place at CRBH, and a list will always be posted prior to Volunteer Night. For those of you seasoned bike mechanics, we always need help fixing and tuning up our ever-growing bike inventory. We have lots of donated bikes that still need to be assessed and cleaned, as well as a large inventory of bike parts and accessories that need sorting. Speaking of bike parts, our bike scrap and salvage pile is generally needing attention so feel free to drop by and disassemble a few.

Join us for Scrap Night!

Taking apart bikes is a great way to learn the basics of how the bike works, how to use special tools, and get your hands dirty while having some fun! Our commitment to sustainability starts with keeping bikes out of the landfill by upcycling road-worth bikes, and recycling bikes and bike parts that are no longer needed. This will be a recurring Tuesday night event, as we continue to work through our large inventory of bikes.

Anyone interested in joining is more than welcome to assist us in dismantling bikes that we have deemed unfit for repair, unsafe to ride, or poor quality or condition. We will be salvaging any reusable parts, and recycling the rest with some help from our friends @kjhaulawayjunkremoval.

If you’ve thought about volunteering, but weren’t sure how to get involved, this is a great way to get plugged into the CRBH shop and meet members of our team.
