Want to learn how to fix your bike?

Every 1st & 3rd Saturday at 1-2PM in Manhattan (La Plaza Community Garden) we have outdoor bike repair classes which introduce basics of bicycle maintenance. Every Wednesday and Sunday are open workshops where you can bring your own bicycle and work on it yourself with the aid of Time’s Up! mechanics. Check below for details, locations and hours. 

Contact our Time’s Up! mechanics for any questions regarding workshop schedules, miscellaneous bike repair, donating to our wishlist or becoming a volunteer mechanic at: xupbicyclecoop@gmail.com. 

All workshops and classes are free. Shop users are encouraged to make an optional donation of $2–5 per visit, or to become a contributing member of the bike co-op with a $20 annual donation.

Donations and Bike Co-op Wishlist

Due to space constraints, we only accept donations of bikes or bike parts that are in good working condition and easily sellable. Please email xupbicyclecoop@gmail.com or speak with a volunteer before bringing in bikes or parts for donation. 

As a working bike shop, the co-op is always in need of common supplies such as tools, lubricant, cleaning supplies, bicycle repair stands, clean rags, and paper towels. Please speak with a volunteer or email us if you have any of these items to donate!

Becoming a Time’s Up! Bike Co-op Volunteer

Time’s Up! is an all-volunteer environmental education and direct action non-profit group. Our Bike Co-op’s goal is to give everyone enough knowledge to maintain their bikes, and hopefully, teach others to do the same.

There are many ways that you can volunteer and help Time’s Up!’s Bike Co-op. First and foremost, Time’s Up! relies on a strong membership base, so if you have not joined already, please do so at our Membership Page. If you are interested in becoming a mechanic, or in helping out with bicycle repair at the weekly workshops, e-mail xupbicyclecoop@gmail.com or drop by the Manhattan space (626 E 14th St.) on Wednesday or Sunday afternoons. We’ll pair you with a current mechanic so you can learn the ropes of the space and gain hands-on maintenance skills. If you cannot schedule a specific time for a committed volunteership, you can volunteer on an impromptu basis.

If you are interested in helping out at one of Time’s Up!’s group rides or other outdoor activities, e-mail timesup.events@gmail.com. Otherwise, the best thing you can do to help out is show up to the workshops and events regularly. There’s always ample opportunity to contribute and make a difference!
