Our busy community bike shop is looking for experienced bicycle mechanics to teach the public maintenance and repair skills.

Bike Saviours operates a Do-It-Yourself, community bike shop where patrons can learn bike repair and maintenance skills. Our programs and services are available at low or no cost, making access to cycling, maintenance, and repair easier.

Have repair skills to share? You can help by providing instruction to the public on our open shop bike repair days.

  • In a workshop outfitted with professional, Park Tool equipment and tools, provide instruction to patrons in need of bike repair and maintenance.
  • Volunteer instructors will not perform repairs for patrons, but rather provide instruction, demonstration, and explanation to empower the patron to do the work themselves.

Bike repair days are currently:

Sundays from 12pm - 6pm
Wednesays from 3pm - 9pm
Thursdays from 3pm - 9pm

About Bike Saviours Bicycle Collective

Location:

420 S Perry Ln, Suite 3, Tempe, AZ 85281, US

Mission Statement

Bike Saviours Bicycle Collective (BSBC) is volunteer-run, 501(c)3 nonprofit education center devoted to teaching people about bicycle maintenance, building, and repair. We operate as a tool share that is open to the public. We provide affordable repurposed bikes and parts through a collection of donated recycled parts from the community.

Description

The collective was founded by individuals interested in expanding access to bikes, bike parts, and bike repair. During open shop hours, patrons may learn to fix their own bike or work on a bike they've selected through our Build-a-Bike program. With the Build-a-Bike program, individuals select a bike and learn to recondition it with the guidance of shop staff and volunteers. Patrons also visit the shop to buy used parts or connect with other cyclists.
