Open Shop

Due to COVID restrictions, we will be limiting the number of customers in the building at once during Open Shop. Please be patient and expect longer than usual wait times. In order to help spread out traffic and reduce wait times, we are also offering repair appointments M-F 11am-5pm. If you would like to schedule an appointment, email urbanbikeproject@gmail.com.

Adults and children accompanied by a parent or guardian are welcome to attend Open Shop. Youth (under 18) must be accompanied and supervised by a parent or guardian. Unaccompanied youth may attend Youth Shop.
