Free Bike Repair Day @ City of San Mateo

This repair event has 3 parts. It should take 45-60 minutes in total:

Evaluation: Our volunteer mechanics will evaluate the state of your bike and decide what needs to be fixed. We are able to do basic repairs, such as fixing/replacing brakes & cables, fixing flat tires, repairing/replacing chains, adjusting seats, adjusting handlebars, and aligning derailleurs. If a bike requires more complicated repairs, we will refer you to a bike shop.

Fixing: Our volunteer mechanics will perform basic maintenance and repairs to your bike and will teach you along the way. We will have common parts on-side. If a replacement part is needed we don't have, you can either go buy it and return for repair, or we will refer you to a bike shop.

Final Check: An experienced mechanic or LCI will verify that your bike is safe to ride using the ABC Quick Check method.

Who: All members of the public

What to bring:

• Your bike
• A form of payment in case you need to buy replacement parts

Also, we are always looking for volunteer bike mechanics (all levels of experience are welcome from just being able to fix a flat on up, you can learn more from others at the event). If you can volunteer, please register here!
