SQUARE DANCE FUNDRAISER!!!

We will be hosting a square dance/two step here at the Bike Church on Friday, Nov. 21st from 7-10pm in honor of our beloved mechanic Justin Valone

It’s summer tradition for the Bike Church to be understaffed. Because of limited mechanics and availability, we will have limited weekend hours until further notice, we will continue to update here whenever we are back into our 12-5pm swing, but for now our Sat-Sun hours are 2:30-5:30pm. Thanks for supporting us, and maybe consider dropping us some bubbly water to drink on shift haha. We have our normal hours still Monday, Thursday and Friday. FLINTA 5-8 on Tuesday and Youth Hours (21 and under) Wednesday from 2-6pm. Thanks for your support! Happy summer.
