Bike Repair Day
Host an event where community members can bring their bicycles for free repairs and maintenance.
Partner with local bike shops or experienced bike mechanics to offer their services pro bono. Set up a repair station at a central location, such as a park or your church’s parking lot, with tools and parts for common bike repairs. Promote the event through local social media, flyers, and community boards. Offer free safety checks and minor adjustments, and provide advice on basic bike maintenance. Encourage community members to bring their bikes and interact with the repair experts.
A Community Bike Repair Day supports sustainable transportation, helps maintain bicycles in good condition, and fosters community engagement through a shared interest in cycling.
