It’s been about one year since we closed our DIY repair services due to COVID, and now it’s time to get you and your fellow BBP Members back into the shop, working on bikes, and sharing space with each other. It’s still going to be a bit different for awhile, and there will be plenty of safety precautions in place, but it’s time to get you back into the shop and rolling out door!

Shopping

BBP is still open for shopping Wed-Friday 11-6pm and Sat-Sunday 11-5pm. Shopping is first come first serve, and we allow 4 people in the shop at a time. We have a ton of adults and kids bikes for sale, a massive variety of quality used parts, and all the new parts (tires, tubes, chains, grips, locks, tools…) to keep you rolling.

Members DIY Repair

On April 2, BBP will reopen for Member’s DIY Repair on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 11-5pm. DIY Repair slots are by appointment only and will be two hours long. A pair/couple can book together under one slot, but only if you’re working together on one bike.

Emergency Repair

BBP will remain open for emergency repair for the community in need during all shopping hours. In May, BBP expects to open one additional repair stand inside the shop for Walk-ins and Work-Trade.

Pedal Power Happy Hour!

Starting April 7th, weekly BBP Member’s classes are back! Every Wednesday from 6-8pm Camille and Jimmy will dazzle you with bicycle repair and riding knowledge. Most nights, you will want to bring your own bike, but you can also work on one of ours. There will be 4 slots available each week by appointment only. A couple/pair can count as one slot as long as they can sit right next to each other. Beer, Wine and Cider are allowed. Class schedule below.
