Free Bike Mini-Tune-Ups

Already have a bike but it needs a repair? Community Cycles is offering free mini-tune-ups.

We can adjust gears, brakes, seat, handlebar, tire pressure. We cannot replace any parts during your mini-tune up. We will also do a quick Safety Check to look for loose spokes, cracks in the frame, chain wear and function, tire wear, and lubricate your chain. If the repair is more extensive, we’ll point you in the right direction for getting it fixed.

Mini-tune-ups are open to all BCHA residents.
