Too busy yesterday to snap pictures but on a temperamental weather day, we had many lovely people popping their heads in to check us out, others coming to work on their brakes, wheels, get air, adjust seat height. Keep 'em coming!

Reminder that Williamsburg open hours are tonight from 6-9p (195 Maujer). See you there!

First day of welcoming the public to our new outdo

First day of welcoming the public to our new outdoor space in Red Hook and what a day it was! So proud of this crew and the lovely people who came to work on their bikes, peruse our for sale bikes and parts, and ask questions. After months of preparing this space, we are just excited to see all of you!

Check us out on Mondays for open hours at our Williamsburg location (195 Maujer, 6-9p). And Sundays in Red Hook (98 Dikeman, 11a-3p). All bikes are beautful!!!

Wow, it's been quite a year and we are really exci

Wow, it's been quite a year and we are really excited to "soft open" our space on April 18 in Red Hook (98 Dikeman, Sun 11a-3p) and on April 19 in Williamsburg (195 Maujer, Mon 6-9p). Can't wait to see all of your masked faces for what we call "Do It Together" time (better version of do it yourself) where you can diagnose problems, access tools, have freedom to fail, meet people who will listen and help. We'll be having a more formal opening in May so stay tuned for news on that soon!

Work work work this week: hand painting signs (who

Work work work this week: hand painting signs (whoot whoot Alice!), climbing on the container to assess how to cool it this summer, more building projects, painting the spokes cabinet, laminating labels to organize parts, cutting metal to extend our bike parking station. Grateful to our volunteers for spending lovely weather days to get our space ready for open hours.

We have some exciting news to share about opening in the next few weeks and how to be involved. Stay tuned!

When we talk about fair access to bikes that won't

When we talk about fair access to bikes that won't break out of the box, functional/long lasting, and ideally a pleasure to ride, how can we ensure that this convo does not exclude systemically disempowered New Yorkers and riders?

Daylight savings has nothing on this crew- painting signs, bedazzling aprons, making drawers, picking up donated bikes and cabinets, enjoying Josh's miso soup! Nothing like a spring-like day filled with community and hard work.

What a beaut of a day: painting our desk in "rainbow fade," making a workbench, organizing/tagging/intaking donated bikes on our new rack!

More artisanal cookies (Thai tea & matcha chocolate) courtesy of Amazing Alice and spicy chili from Hilarious Heidi! So lucky to spend time with wonderful folks and getting ready to open up our space in April for all of you.
