Bike Forth is a DIY bicycle repair shop operated by the Davis Bike Collective.
Regular Open Shop
Come by to use tools, fix your bike(s), drop off donations, pick up some sweet parts, and learn skills during these hours. Our ministers are in the shop to help you out and guide you through whatever you may need to do.
Open Bike Night
On hiatus. Formerly a bike-related social and/or learning evening.
Women Trans Femme (WTF) Workshop
On hiatus - they would love for you to become a regular volunteer who eventually takes this project on. Look here for history.
What does it cost?
You won't find price tags at Bike Forth - payment is flexible, it's all about fairness, equity, ability, and inclination. This is strange, eh?, but we hope you get the drift.
To be clear, we ask for $5 donation per hour spent in the shop, and a fair contribution for whatever parts and materials are used (we do have a recommended donation range for each type of part). In lieu of a donation we're also happy to have your volunteer time in exchange; we ask for half the time spent using the space - if you spend two hours in the shop, stay another hour to volunteer.
Keep in mind that there are many real and significant expenses to run Bike Forth (including rent, insurance, utilities, improvements), it's in your hands to contribute enough to keep the community shop afloat.
Music Shows
In addition to its role as a diy bicycle repair shop and educational collective, Bike Forth is a community space that sometimes serves as a venue for music shows. To date, the following bands have performed at Bike Forth:

You guys are amazing. One of your volunteers left a note in my ATAX stem and let me know how crazy it was. This act of kindness is not only amazing and super rare in our times. Thank you for all the hard work you guys do and for taking the time to actually leave a helpful note for a stranger. Keep on doing what you're doing you guys! Awesome! —DonHo
2012-04-08 01:00:59 We cancelled Tuesdays so that we can focus volunteer energy more reliably on the other open hours.
Thanks DonHo! I'll pass that message along to Jeff. —Angel.York
2012-04-30 20:30:23 can someone who knows nothing about how to fix bikes come here?
Yes... that's the whole point. —Aaron.Curtin
