Get your hands dirty with us as we prepare our bike fleet for the spring and summer! If you can change a flat tire, adjust a brake, and lube a chain – we want you! We have over 230 bikes in our fleet and winter is a great time for in-depth maintenance. You will work on a bike from start to finish, cleaning and performing safety checks, with opportunities to learn more advanced bike maintenance skills as we find issues. You will also get to know our adaptive bikes, which many people are not familiar with.
You do not need to be a “bike mechanic” for this role, but some experience working on bikes and familiarity with bike parts is a plus.
Dates:
Wednesdays: November 4, 11, 18; December 16; January 20, 27; February 3, 10, 17, 24; March 3, 10, 17, 24, 31
Time: 10 AM - 4 PM (6 hours total; flexible based on your availability)
