June/July Update and Schedule

We continue to operate the shop by appointment only. Appointments are generally available during the normal times that we are open, and the schedule is below. To schedule an appointment, call 651-641-1037 and leave your first and last name, your telephone number, and what you need. We will call you back to schedule. Appointments are available for the following:

Bringing in bicycles for paid repairs

Purchasing bicycles

Dropping off donated bicycles – Tuesdays only beginning June 30.

Here is the schedule for the next few weeks:

Tuesdays – June 23, 30, July 7, 14 – Open 5 PM to 8 PM by appointment only. Bicycle drop off appointments begin on June 30.

Thursdays – June 25, July 2, 9, and 16 – Open 5 PM to 8 PM by appointment only.

Sundays – June 28, July 5 and 12 – Open Noon to 4 PM by appointment only.

We also will have a special drop off event on Saturday, June 27 between 10 AM and Noon behind the shop. At that time you may bring bicycles to donate. After that time, we will schedule bicycle donation appointments on Tuesday evenings only. You must have an appointment to drop off a bicycle. Under no circumstances should you drop off a bicycle outside our shop outside our appointment schedule.

We will not be open for shopping for used bicycle parts any time soon. There is no way to sanitize all the items between customers. We are considering having an outdoor sale at a future time, but not likely until fall. You may purchase new tubes or tires for curbside pickup, as well as a few other similar items such as new bar tape. Please call 651-641-1037 and leave your request on voice mail and we will call you back.

Thanks to all our faithful volunteers who have helped us keep the shop going during these difficult times. Also thank you to all the customers who have purchased bicycles or brought their bicycles in for paid repairs. You help us keep the bills paid so we can keep on giving away bicycles. We will reopen the gift bicycle wait list on July 1, 2020 at 9 AM.
