12 Northern Ave, Northampton, MA
Anyone wanting to learn more and/or share what they know about basic bike maintenance and repairs, is welcome to stop by these free informal workshops. If you have questions about fixing flats, understanding gears, bike fit, brake adjustments, suspicious squeaks or creaks, assembling a bike, scooters, trikes, garden carts, walkers, wagons, perhaps ebikes, or riding safely in traffic and in cold, we can problem solve together. We have tools and parts, mostly used. If you have a bike, bring it. If you need a bike, we can help you fix one up for yourself. If you have a working or mostly-working bike or parts to donate, contact Ruthy to be sure we can take it. you can probably drop it off during normal Bike Lab hours, or contact Ruthy to make other arrangements. If you want to come to Bike Lab for any reason, including to help fix bikes, but your schedule doesn't allow, also contact Ruthy.
Call/text 413-341-2522 or contact Ruthy by e-mail
Need a bike? we have lots to be fixed up, or if I'm out of town, contact *Bikes For All* at sean@fntrails.org
Have a bike to donate? our storage space is kind of maxed out, but we'll find room if it's an offer we can't refuse... like a working non department store hybrid or mountain bike, tools, good components, 700c rear wheels, tires, pedals, seats, derailleurs, panniers, racks, lights, locks. thx :)
If you can't make it to the regular Saturday Bike Lab and want to learn about maintenance and repair, or if you want to improve your safety and comfort riding in traffic, contact Ruthy to schedule a class.
The cost is a sliding scale from $0 to $40. Bartering arrangements are possible. Bicycles can be provided.
