Bike workshops and Open shop for women/trans/femme/non-binary folks

Bike Walk’s Shift Program is all about shifting the narrative of who can work on and ride bikes! Our goal is to create an inclusive space to help foster more FTWN-B folks wrenching and riding. Check out our programming below!

Shift Open Shop: First Thursday of every month from 5-8pm

Bring your bike in for a tune up, fix that weird noise that it always seems to make, volunteer on a project, meet other cyclists in the community, or just hang out! We'll be offering simple tune ups, we'll have tools and parts available for use, and we'll have used parts and refurbished bikes for sale! A mechanic will be present at each open shop to answer questions and help with any bike-related issues you may be having.

Volunteer Nights

Volunteer nights are a great way to put your wrenching skills to use or learn how to repair bikes (using our donated inventory). Help us prepare refurbished bikes for sale, take bikes apart, and sort bits and bobs. Volunteer nights are for those who want to dive into the mechanical world of bicycles! Open to all experience levels - we have a project for everyone. Our trained mechanics will be here to guide you along the way. Registration is free but required as there are limited spaces.
