Shopping
Visiting the shop to make a purchase is always free. We carry basic supplies to get you rolling safely: tires, tubes, brakes, locks, etc., but you will find a better selection at any of the great local bike shops in town.
Tour the Shop
Upon your first visit, you can get a tour of our shop, see what kinds of tools or bikes we have available, and ask any questions you may have about our mission, procedures, or anything in general to see if you want to become a member.
Bike repair
In order to use our repair stands, you must become a member which can be obtained by volunteering 4 hours of time or paying $30 a year. Some repairs will need a replacement part. You can supply your own, or buy a used or new part at the shop; we work to keep our part prices very affordable.
How do repairs work?
You can work on your own bike with professional repair stands and tools we have in our space. Volunteers will be able to offer advice, but won’t be able to cover every step or complete repairs for you. We cannot offer storage for personal bikes in Campus Bike Center (campus location) so be ready to take your bike home with you. Members can leave their bikes at The Bike Project (Urbana) for 2 weeks. Our spaces are open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis. We have several repair stands and toolsets. You must use a repair station when repairing your bike. Working on the ground is not allowed. Taking tools outside is not allowed.
