Bicycle Tool and Stand Rental

We call it self-help. If you know how to fix something, but you just need to borrow the tools and the space, come on in and work on your own for the rate of $9/hour. This rate is prorated by 5-minute increments so you only pay for the time you use. Plus, you get to hang around in a fun environment with lots of other bike geeks at work and listen to our cool musical selections! You don't need an appointment, it's all first-come, first-served, but you can call ahead if you want to see how busy we are. We have all the standard parts in stock, so unless you need something strange, we'll have everything you need to do your repair. If not, we can order it for you.

Working at the self-help rate gets you access to a bike stand, all the basic tools, and the wheel truing stands. We have a parts wash available for the rate of $36/hour. Certain specialty tools are available at the rate of $48/hour. (All rates are prorated by 5-minute increments.)

And if you need help, you can get instruction from a mechanic for the rate of $36/hour. Mechanical instruction is available on a first-come, first-served basis. You can work on your own for some of the time and with instruction when you need it... we're flexible!

Please note that stand rental and instrucion time ends a half-hour before closing each day. Please check shop hours schedule for daily hours of operation.
