Bike shop volunteers clean and repair bikes for refugees, veterans emerging from homelessness, young people from low-income families and others, enabling them to get to work, school and other destinations.

We will fit your assignment to your skill level and interest.

  • If you know how to repair brakes, derailleurs and other bike systems, we will put you to work on a bike right away. Most of our mechanics have been repairing their own bikes for years.
  • If you are a beginner and want to learn about maintaining a bike, you will start on the bike prep crew, cleaning bikes and undertaking minor repairs. Each time you attend, you will learn more about bikes.
Join the Freewheels team at our well-equipped shop in southwest Houston, learn new things and help make life better for men, women and youth by giving them the means to explore the city.

Freewheels volunteer days are Friday and Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon at our shop, 6020 Jessamine #204, Houston, TX 77081.
