Too often our bike maintenance goes undone. We created this program to motivate you to be kind to your bike and empower you to solve your own bike issues. 

Bring your own bike, beverage, and problems (BYOBB +) while we gather to work on our bikes at Coler! Together, we’ll share knowledge, ask questions, and problem-solve each other's bike troubles. This program will be hands-on with the tools and bikes, but don’t worry, knowledgeable instructors will be there to help teach and guide you along the way. 

If you have tools, feel free to bring them but we will have plenty to share! If you don’t have a specific tool to tackle the job on your bike, we may be able to provide one for you. If you have a portable bike stand, we encourage you to bring it, as we’ll have limited stands to share.
