Time's Up! Bike Co-op

Learn to fix your bike at a volunteer-run repair workshop in the East Village. Beginner friendly, no experience needed.

How It Works

Bring your bike and describe the issue to a volunteer mechanic. We provide the tools and guidance but you will be hands on for the repair. Suggested $2 donation covers tool use and supplies.
