Esperanza Bicycle Safety Education Center

Heads up!

We will be closing our open clinic on August 4th and August 7th as we support the USA Cycling Masters Road National Championship. This is a major event for cycling in Albuquerque and it will be all hands on deck!

Due to inclement weather Esperanza will not be hosting Open Clinic today. Thank you for understanding and have a safe a warm day!

Esperanza will not be taking appointments on Thursday, and will not be holding our usual Pop-Up Clinic on Friday. We will resume normal operations on Saturday with a Pop-Up Clinic at Los Griegos Library. Hope to see you there!

Esperanza will be supporting the upcoming USAC Masters Road National Championships that will be held Aug 5th-Aug 8th.

Because of this, we will not be open for our appointment based Open Clinic on Thursday, August 5th or Sunday, August 8th.

We will return to our normal schedule starting on Tuesday August 10th. Make sure you follow the race and support this awesome event for Albuquerque!

It's a beautiful day for a ride! If your bike needs some love or you just want to chat, come see us now at the East San Jose Pool for some free bike service! We'll be here from 10am-3pm to help you out. Hope you see you out here!

We're Open!
We still have appointments available for today's Open Clinic!

Call us at 505-224-6668 to reserve a stand, and learn to repair or maintain your bike.

We're Open! We're currently filling appointments for this afternoon, between Noon and 8pm. Call 505-224-6668 to get your spot!

Open Clinic v2.0 begins Sunday, March 7th! We're so excited to welcome you back into our shop!

What's the same:
Just as before, we'll be offering a space where you can learn to repair and maintain your bicycle. We will provide a bench, repair stand, tools, donated parts, and most importantly, expertise to get your repair done safely and correctly. You'll turn the wrench, but we're here to help!

What's different:
With COVID still looming, we will only be allowing people in by appointment, so you'll need to call us at 505-224-6668 beginning at 10am the day you'll be coming to make an appointment. You will have 1 hr 45 min for each appointment to complete your repair, so plan accordingly if you have a job that might take more than one session. We will be sanitizing the whole shop between each session.

If you have questions or concerns about Open Clinic or any of our other programs, please reach of anytime at 505-224-6668 or check out www.cabq.gov/esperanza for more info.
