Photo of wrenchback to help set the direction.  What are you interested in learning about?  How to overhaul hubs?  Do you wonder why it’s so hard to install metal fenders?  Are your brakes constantly needing adjustment or would you enjoy learning how to keep your wheels true?  We welcome all input and look forward to seeing you in the shop.

This is an experiment for us as we get quite busy during the warmer seasons.  Our hope is that this will bring new people into the shop and broaden access to Bike Farm.  Let us know what you think and we look forward to seeing many new faces in the shop!

Students will be responsible for their own repairs and maintenance, so each bike will come with a Bike Farm membership!  Organized and maintained by the Associated Students of PCC (ASPCC), the Cascade Bike Program is sponsored in part by Cyclone Bicycle Supply, The Community Cycling Center, Portland Design Works and of course, Bike Farm!  We are very excited to be involved and look forward to seeing PCC students in the shop.  For more information, see the Cascade Bike Program website and bikeportland.org’s coverage.  Happy Wrenching!
