From mastering safe commuting techniques to delving into the intricacies of bike repair, Bike Farm serves as a unique space for individuals to deepen their understanding of bicycles and foster a strong community centered around sustainable transportation. Our core mission revolves around demystifying bicycle mechanics and promoting cycling culture, aiming to positively impact our city through healthy and eco-conscious practices.
Using the Bike Farm Workshop
Embrace the do-it-yourself ethos at Bike Farm’s workshop! Staffed entirely by knowledgeable volunteers, our workshop welcomes everyone, whether you’re a member or just dropping in. No appointments are needed, making bike maintenance accessible and convenient. For those who aren’t members, accessing our stands, specialized tools, and expert guidance from experienced volunteer mechanics is available for a nominal fee, starting at just $5 per hour. Consider becoming a member for even greater access and support!
During our open hours, you’ll always find at least two volunteer mechanics ready to assist you in learning how to maintain and repair your own bicycle. Our primary goal is empowerment through education – we’re here to guide your learning process so YOU can confidently perform the work yourself. We believe in hands-on experience and providing the resources to make it happen.
Bike Farm is a welcoming space for individuals of all skill levels. Whether you’re a complete beginner taking your first steps in bike maintenance or a seasoned cyclist who’s been wrenching for years, you’ll find a supportive environment here. Some visitors are just starting to learn the basics, while others appreciate access to professional-grade tools and a dedicated workspace where they can comfortably work on their bikes. Our dedicated Bike Farm volunteers are committed to meeting you where you are in your cycling journey, providing tailored support and guidance to meet your specific needs.
Commitment to a Safer and Inclusive Space
Bike Farm is built upon the principles of cooperation and inclusivity. We are steadfast in our commitment to providing a safer space that is welcoming and respectful to everyone, regardless of race, economic background, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, or ability. We believe in fostering a community where everyone feels valued and empowered to participate.
