Bicycle Collective

"It certainly has been one of my favorite things to do over the last year I have been volunteering at the Bicycle Collective shop to grab a great old school roadie off the rack and refurbish it into good basic transportation for somebody."

Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective’s Women’s Night

Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective operates on the philosophy, “Teach them to fish, and they can feed themselves,” but many students won’t even ask for lessons. Walking into a warehouse full of gearheads can be intimidating, especially for fiercely independent women who are embarrassed to admit they can’t change a flat bicycle tire. The collective understands, completely. This year, the local nonprofit added to its impressive list of outreach programs a bi-monthly Women’s Night, with female mechanics teaching women how to work on their own bikes in a friendly, pressure-free environment. All ages and levels welcome, each second and fourth Wednesday.
2312 S. West Temple, Salt Lake City, 801-328-2453
