Community-powered Bike Repair in New York City

Overview

We provide tools, parts, and peer-to-peer education so everyone can maintain their ride. Our shop operates on donations and mutual aid, which keeps the doors open and the wrenches turning for the entire community.

Schedule Overview

Wednesdays 5:00-8:00 pm. This is an open shop in which you may use our tools and bike stands to work on your bike.

Park Classes

Every other Saturday from March to November at 1pm at La Plaza Garden on 9th and Avenue C. Classes are free and open to all levels of experience and expertise. Most classes provide a general overview of bicycle diagnostics and repair, though advanced topics may be scheduled if requested. We cannot guarantee that attendees will have time to fix their own bikes during class (open workshops are the time for this), but attendees are encouraged to bring their own bikes to class if possible to support applied learning.

Location

Find us in the East Village between Avenue B and C. Bike parking is available out front.

How to Join

Time's Up! is an all-volunteer environmental education and direct action non-profit group. Our Bike Co-op's goal is to give everyone enough knowledge to maintain their bikes, and hopefully, teach others to do the same.

There are many ways that you can volunteer and help Time's Up!'s Bike Co-op. First and foremost, Time's Up! relies on a strong membership base, so if you have not joined already, please do so at our Membership Page . If you are interested in becoming a mechanic, or in helping out with bicycle repair at the weekly workshops, e-mail contact@timesup.bike or drop by the Manhattan space (626 E 14th St.) on Wednesday or Sunday afternoons. We'll pair you with a current mechanic so you can learn the ropes of the space and gain hands-on maintenance skills. If you cannot schedule a specific time for a committed volunteership, you can volunteer on an impromptu basis.

If you are interested in helping out at one of Time's Up!'s group rides or other outdoor activities, e-mail timesup.events@gmail.com. Otherwise, the best thing you can do to help out is show up to the workshops and events regularly. There's always ample opportunity to contribute and make a difference!
