Classes and Open shop for women/trans/femme/non-binary folks

Bike Walk’s Shift Program is all about shifting the narrative of who can work on and ride bikes! Our goal is to create an inclusive space to help foster more FTWN-B folks wrenching and riding. Check out our programming below! Questions? Email claire@bikewalktompkins.org

Shift Open Shop: First Thursday of every month from 5-8pm

Bring your bike in for a repair, fix that weird noise that it always seems to make, volunteer on a project, and connect with other cyclists in the community! We offer tune-ups, free access to tools, used parts, refurbished bikes for sale, and a mechanic on-site to assist with any bike-related issues.

Monthly CLASSES

Pre-registration is required for all classes. The registration fee for each class is $20. However, we never turn anyone away due to lack of funds. If the financial barrier would prevent you from participating, you may use the code FREERIDE to waive the fee. We trust that folks will self-assess if this is what they need in order to participate.

December 18, 6pm: Replacing A Cable (FULL - email to be added to the waitlist)

In this workshop we’ll demystify the process of replacing a shifting cable. We’ll talk about all types of cables (brake vs shift) and will go through the process of fully replacing a rear shifting cable. Participants are encouraged to bring their own bikes to work on.

All programming will take place at the Bike Walk Tompkins office: 803 Cascadilla St. Ithaca, NY 14850 (behind the Enterprise Car Rental office).
