Please join us for WTF Open Shop Night!!!

WTF Open Shop Night: By The Recyclery, Women Bike Chicago, & CommunityCave Chicago

Every 4th Sunday 6pm-9pm, The Recyclery co-hosts WTF (Women | Trans | Femme) Open Shop Night in collaboration with Women Bike Chicago and CommunityCave Chicago. This program is led by WTF mechanics from both Women Bike Chicago and The Recyclery, with CommunityCave helping to create a intentionally inclusive space for our trans and gender expansive community members.

WTF Night is for people who identify as women, trans/nonbinary, or femme. Participants learn new skills, get practical help with their own bikes, and contribute to the Recyclery’s Freecyclery program. WTF Night is a time for leaders and participants alike to share knowledge and skills with other community members. People at all skill and experience levels are encouraged to join.

For those working on their own bikes, there is a $10 per hour requested donation (more if you can, less if you can’t). Check out The Recyclery for more information their programming.

Please get to know our partners in this endeavor, Women Bike Chicago & CommunityCave Chicago through their respective websites!
