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
Mondays 6:30PM-8:30PM
Open Bike Night is a time to use the space at the Bike Forth for all kinds of fun stuff (bike-related fun will be given priority!). Activities alternate between "fun stuff" (movie nights, poetry readings, and live music) and training workshops where volunteers can learn the ways of the ministry. The workshop topics for each week will be announced through the volunteer email list. Anyone is welcome to participate or put on an event that is 30 minutes to 2 hours long. Send an email to <openbikenight AT davisbikecollective DOT org> if you would like to host an event or have any questions.
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:
