If you're like most of our volunteers and you've always wanted to learn to repair and build bicycles, you should join us for one of our two weekly volunteer nights! See the graphic for Wednesday and Thursday dates.

We were closed last week but it's back up and running at the BAB community workshop. While we can not control the weather, as long as it is reasonable, we will do our best to keep everyone cool while we're wrenching!

See you on Wednesday, July 7th at 5PM!

Heads up! Back Alley Bikes will be closed on July 5th so if you have any repair needs and you planned on coming to DIY Open Shop come see us this Sunday (6/28). If your repair is time sensitive, visit our storefront, The Hub of Detroit, on or before Thursday 7/2 (during their business hours) and they'll let you know how they can help.

To our wonderful volunteers: since The Hub is closed on the 4th this also means that Volunteer Open Shop is also closed that day. Enjoy the holiday with your family and friends and we'll see you soon!

Due to extreme heat and no AC in the workshop, we’re canceling Volunteer Night this week! Keep cool and we’ll catch you next time!
