Women, Trans, Femme, Non-Binary Open Shop

Please become a MoBo member or renew your annual MoBo membership to attend this event! You can do this in-person or online.

Open Shop is a time for you to use MoBo’s bike shop space to learn & work on your own bike.

This Open Shop is specifically for people who identify as women, trans, femme, and non-binary. Please respect the integrity of this space and refer to MoBo’s website for workshops and opportunities for other community members.

If your bike needs work, we’ll be there to help you. If you’d like to learn basic skills but don’t have a bike or don’t need yours tuned up, come anyway and we’ll fix you up with a kid’s bike or pair you with someone else.

We’ll help folks on a first-come, first-serve basis. There are 5 bike stands and at least 2 trained volunteer mechanics. Mechanics will help guide and teach you, but not do the work for you! Usually 10-20 people show up. Doors open at 6pm.

MoBo has most of the tools necessary to work on basic bike repairs and tune-ups. We are all volunteers and will do our best to show you how to get your bike safely up and running but may not have the time to work on every problem. If your bike needs more substantial work, we will help diagnose, but will refer you to a local shop for repair.

MoBo Bicycle Co-op is a project of the Village Green Foundation located at 1415 Knowlton St in Northside.

Free street and bike parking available, accessible by Metro routes/from downtown, Metro Buses #16, #17, #19, #20, and #27 stop conveniently close to the co-op. The nearest Red Bike stations are at the Transit Center and on Vandalia Point.
