Services Overview
Every tune-up or service starts with a FREE Assessment. From there we will help you determine the best course of action based on your bike, your goals and your budget. Turn-around times for services varies based on the season. We will do our best to let you know the expected wait time when you bring your bike into the shop.

DIY-Stand-TimeDo It Yourself Stand Time
Cost: $15/hour Public / FREE UML
We offer free do it yourself stand time during our open hours. DIY stand time is a great way to gain hands on mechanical experience on your bike when you need it as well as save some money on repairs. Bike shop staff will help you perform an initial assessment and help you get oriented to the shop. They are present for occasional consultation and limited basic instruction. In the event that you need a bike shop mechanic to do the work or give you their attention though the entire repair we will charge the normal labor rate for that service. We are happy to teach and we also need to maintain a functional and efficient bike shop.
Please review our DIY Policies and complete the Campus Rec Waiver before using the shop.
