Come get help repairing your bike with the Bay Area BikeMobile
We want to see more families riding their bikes to the library! That’s why we’ve invited the BikeMobile to provide free tune ups & repairs for parents and children.
The BikeMobile can fix flat tires, adjust brakes and gears, and even replace broken or worn out parts like chains, seats, and tires. The only thing it can’t do is replace missing wheels or gears. While the mechanics work on your bike they’ll explain how to keep it running smooth.
