Happy July. Here are a few quick updates. For more stories about the fun going on in the shop, check out our blog. Don't forget...we've added Wednesday night hours (7 pm until 10 pm) for the summer (and possibly beyond). See you in the shop! Learn the Basics at Bike Repair 101 ----------------------------------- john and friend are confident mechanicsIntimidated by bike shop mechanics? Aggravated by brake squeal? Sick of skipping derailleurs? Want to volunteer at Sopo but don't know the first thing about bikes? This series of two workshops is designed to turn that love-hate relationship you have with your bicycle into 100% pure bike love. These no-attitude workshops, led by Emily and Kira, will help you become more comfortable with basic bike repair. We will go slow and have time for questions. We will cover some of the most common adjustments and repairs, and go over diagnosing some more advanced problems as well. Join us at the Sopo shop on Sunday, July 20, 7 pm - 10 pm and Monday, July 21, 7 pm - 10 pm for this 2-part series. Bring your bike if it's in good working order, and your multitool and patch kit if you have them. The suggested donation is $0-$10. For a detailed list of topics to be covered, go here.
