We’re teaming up with our friends at NewBo City Market! Our volunteers will lead the Meet Me at the Market group rides starting Thursday, May 8, and run all summer! These are no-drop rides, so all paces are welcomed and encouraged! A new route will be posted every week. Grab your helmet, pack some water, and let's roll! See Facebook for event details.

Interested in volunteering?  Want to learn more and take a tour of the shop?  Our next Volunteer Orientation is scheduled for Wednesday, June 11, from 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM.  We’ll be covering all the ins and outs of volunteering at the shop, including the signup and scheduling process, shop roles, activities and workflow, and if you’re interested, how to quickly assess donated bikes and bike parts.
