W.T.F. (Women, Trans, Femme) Night!

Our next W.T.F. Night is Sunday, 10/22!!!

Every 4th Sunday 6pm-9pm, The Recyclery hosts W.T.F. (Women, Trans, Femme) Night in collaboration with Women Bike Chicago. This program is run by W.T.F. mechanics from both Women Bike Chicago and The Recyclery.

W.T.F. Night is for people who identify as women, trans, or femme. Participants learn new skills, get practical help with their own bikes, and contribute to the Recyclery’s Freecyclery program. W.T.F. Night is a time for leaders and participants alike to share knowledge and skills with other community members.

For those working on their own bikes, there is a $10/hour requested donation (more if you can, less if you can’t). Check out The Recyclery for more information their programming.

Sign up for our Winter Overhaul Class!

We’ve just scheduled our Winter Overhaul Class!

Our six-week winter overhaul class is taught by Matt. Classes are Sunday afternoons 2-5pm. You’ll learn how to disassemble, reassemble, and adjust each major mechanical system of your bicycle week-by-week. We recommend the Tune-Up class before this one if you have never fixed a flat. Costs $180.

Bring your own bike to the class. We do not have storage, but we try to make sure it’s ridable by the end of each session. Geared bicycles are recommended over single speeds or fixed gears. We will provide hand-outs to help with learning. We’ll also provide new cables and housing for the overhaul class.

Sign up for class here!

January 7  through February 11
