Tuesdays 6-8pm

Women/Trans*/Femme Night
Tuesdays 6 to 8 pm
Just show up! Open to the public and volunteers. 

WTF Night is a space for non-binary, gender non-conforming, female-identifying, trans*, and femme folks to "rent-a-bench" to do repairs and maintenance on their bikes for little or no cost. We offer bicycle repair instruction for women-identified and gender-nonconforming individuals lead by mechanics who also fit that description. This is a free program though you can choose to donate $5/hr. We encourage women-identifying and gender-nonconforming folks to learn bicycle maintenance and repair firsthand in a shop setting. 

Every Tuesday from 6-8 we meet to work on bikes, talk about bikes, and simply hang out in a space where everyone who identifies as W/T/F Non-binary feel welcome and comfortable. The Bike Library is committed to building a culturally diverse volunteer base and strongly encourages PoC, non-binary, W/T/F folks from the public to attend this program. We also hope that y'all will consider volunteering at the Bike Library and be a part of getting more folks in Johnson County on bikes.

If you have a bigger project that can't be accomplished in 2hrs we offer Rent-A-Bench every Saturday from 10 - 3 PM as well. Here is a little more about Rent-a-Bench in general:

Even if you've never worked on your bike before, we encourage you to give it a try. Here are some tips for using Rent-A-Bench:

• Give yourself plenty of time. Maintenance and repairs usually take longer thank you think. Get here as early as possible. 
• Come in before your bike breaks down for preventative maintenance and to save money. If you hear something that doesn't sound right—bring it in. 
• If you have an idea of what you want to accomplish, highly recommend going to ParkTool.com and watching a video on the repair you want to make. This can expedite your project and it's useful to familiarize yourself with the tools and process. 
• We are happy to help you diagnose issues, make a list of what needs to be done, and then prioritize the list based on how much time you have. 
• We do not service bikes and it is up to you to do your own repairs. We practice a hands off assisting approach and can answer questions. 
• Sometimes what seems like a big technical issue might just be a simple fix!
