Class Update
We have two classes starting soon with spots open!
The classes are six-week Complete Overhaul courses. You'll learn how to disassemble, reassemble, and adjust each major mechanical system of your bicycle week-by-week. This class assumes basic knowledge of tool use and simple maintenance. Costs $180 (More if you can, less if you can't). We'll have more basic two-week Tune-up classes in the near future. For now, here are the options:
1. Monday evenings 6-9pm Feb 6th - March 12th taught by Jesse Hautau
2. Wednesday evenings 6-9pm March 7th - April 11th taught by Froilan
Email us at info@therecyclery.org if you would like to join one of the classes. Please specify which class you're interested in. If you'd like to receive updates about future classes, sign up here.

Got old T-shirts?
We running low on rags. If you have old t-shirts to donate, bring 'em on over to the shop. Cotton or 50/50 fabric works best. Thanks!
