We’re squeezing in one last Bike Fix-It Bonanza for the season!

After weather forced us to cancel our last event, we wanted to give you another chance to bring your bike by for some free TLC before we wrap up for the year.

Stop by 10 a.m. - 3p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26 at the Harmony Library (4616 S. Shields St.) for free, drop-in bike repairs and safety checks. Services may include flat tire repair, brake and gear adjustments and minor mechanical fixes.

Repairs are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until we reach capacity. We may stop accepting bikes before the event ends so our mechanics have enough time to finish repairs already in line.
