Bike Shop

Patrons that would like help with their bike repair can work with a Bike Shop Mechanic to get their bike moving again. Patrons are required to stay with their bike and the mechanic during the repair process and are encouraged to participate in the repair itself. Repairs are first-come, first-served, and only patrons whose bikes are actively being repaired are allowed in the shop and others are expected to wait outside in a line.

Patrons that are comfortable completing their own repairs are encouraged to come in and work on their bikes! One stand is reserved for independent repairs and interested patrons should check with a Bike Shop Mechanic to see if it is available. If the stand is being used, patrons are expected to wait outside until it becomes available. If you just need air or to quickly borrow a tool, come in and check with a Bike Shop Mechanic.

• Patrons must stay with their bike during the entire repair process and are expected to engage with the repair itself. Repairs must be completed during open hours.
• No bikes can be left inside the bike shop to continue repairs. A bike locking station is located just outside the Cole Student Activities Building for a bike to be locked outside for further repairs.
• Some tools and equipment are to be used only by Bike Shop Mechanics. Ask if you need to use a tool that is not at your stand.
• The RecWell Bike Shop is not a full-service shop and cannot conduct all repairs or services. Bike Shop Mechanics will not conduct repairs on bikes that are unsafe to ride, heavily modified, any e-bike or scooter, or if they are not comfortable with the repair itself.
• Bike Shop Mechanics have the right to refuse service to any patron and will refer patrons to a local bike shop for the repair. 
• RecWell Bike Shop patrons use the space at their own risk, and the RecWell Bike Shop is not responsible for any bike or property damage, or for any injuries that occur in the space. 
• Patrons should either be invited into the RecWell Bike Shop or should confirm that they are able to bring their bike in for repairs before entering.
• Patrons should follow the instructions of Bike Shop Mechanics and may be asked to leave if they are contributing to a disrespectful or unsafe environment.
• Patrons are responsible for any damage that occurs to tools or equipment in the space.
