Do-It-Yourself Member Hours and Volunteering: DIY Hours are on Wednesday evenings, 4 – 7 pm, and on Saturday afternoons, 2 – 5 pm. Pre-registration is required online using this form, or you can register at the shop with a staff member. DIY hours are for current Members, or you can purchase a one-day pass.

Now’s a great time for you, and for us, to spiff up your bike if it needs repairs. We can sell parts or do the repairs for you. Or, if you’re in the market, you can purchase a bike (new or upcycled used).

What is BiCi Co.?
The Center for Latino Progress, through its BiCi Co. program, is providing an opportunity to improve youth and adult safety, sustainable transportation, youth programs, mechanics classes, job training, and bicycles. Bici is short for bicicleta (bicycle) and Co. stands for comunidad (community).

Bike Shop
We offer all standard bike shop services including tune-ups, overhauls, repairs, cleaning and customization. Our store front offers refurbished used bikes for sale for both kid and adult riders. Come in and check out what we have available!
