Bike Library & Workshop
The Bike Library & Workshop is OPEN!
The Bike Library & Workshop is a community bike shop on campus and is an initiative under Sustain SU. We are fully-equipped with the tools and space necessary to repair and maintain bikes. Bike repairs are DIY, however our volunteers & Bike Library Mechanic can provide guidance and offer some help. Tool and stand use is completely FREE, but we do take monetary donations!
The Bike Library also sells used and new components and parts such as tubes, tires, and other accessories. We are not taking donations of bikes due to the lack of space, but feel free to donate any parts or components that are not a use to you.
Note: We do not bleed hydraulic brakes or repair suspension. Please visit your local bike shop for these specialized services.
