*Appointments Recommended for DIY Bike Projects*

A safe and supportive learning environment for those who identify!

Bicycle maintenance has traditionally been an overwhelmingly (cis)male-dominated area. It is our goal to help empower individuals who may have been marginalized or intimidated in this setting to be knowledgeable and confident working on their bikes. The Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective holds Women Trans Femme (WTF) Night in the shop every Wednesday from 6:00 - 8:00 PM. This program offers a friendly and inclusive learning environment for those who identify to fix their own bikes, buy bikes and parts, and learn all things bicycle!

COVID-19 Era Requirements: Masks & physical distance required! We’re accepting up to 5 people in the shop at a time to shop for bikes or parts -- or for you to pick up a wrench and DIY learn how to work on your bike. 

Women, Trans, Femme Night is weekly on Wednesdays, 6:00 - 8:00PM: Please sign up if you would like to bring in your bike for DIY repairs or adjustments: our volunteer and staff WTF+ mechanics are happy to give pointers to help you get your bike going! Use of the shop for DIY projects (bench/tool rental cost) is waived for working on a bike at a stand during COVID-19 for the time being but donations are encouraged as all costs help support our educational and charitable programs! Walk in's are welcome for small shopping or DIY bench time. 

Please note - bicycle adjustments often take longer than expected: if needed, sign up for more than one spot. Sign up here to ensure a DIY project slot: https://calendly.com/bicyclecollective/women-trans-femme-night 

This space is for:

Anyone who identifies as female, transgender, femme, gender diverse, gender non-binary, trans-masculine, trans-feminine, or feels that their socialization or treatment as a woman, transperson*, or femme, + has impeded their participation in bicycle mechanics.

Women: A person who identifies as a woman.

Trans: Transgender, gender diverse, gender non-conforming, gender creative, anyone whose gender identity is fluid, transgressive, and/or transitioning.

Femme: A gender identity in which a person of any gender embodies a feminine appearance, expression, or identity.

If you are not WTF identified, BECOME AN ALLY:

• Respect the space: Come during our regular open shop hours.
• Respect People: During our regular open shop hours, treat all female & trans* folks as you would any other person (don’t assume they’re less knowledgeable, don’t call them “sweety,” and NEVER take a wrench out of their hand!)
• Get Educated: Learn about the issues facing women, trans*, and gender diverse communities.
• Educate others: About why and how to be an ally!

This program was implemented with assistance from BICAS.org and other WTF program models across the nation.

Get access to the tools and help you need to fix your bike!

Our bike shop is different compared to other shops in the area. At the Bicycle Collective we’re about education above all so we put the wrench in your hands. We won't do the work for you, but we'll help you to complete almost any bike-related project; there’s absolutely no experience needed! Whether you’re an old hand at the wrench or laying hands on a drivetrain for the first time, we can help you out!

Use of the shop is $10 per hour, or free to members.

Find your perfect ride!

We carry a large and rotating selection of fully refurbished used bikes of all kinds, as well as a smaller selection of unrepaired bikes that are too cool to part out but would take too much labor to refurbish.

Our favorite bikes are our custom commuter conversions. A rigid steel frame bike that's been given a comprehensive tune by one of our professional mechanics, and outfitted with brand new tires, rack, and fenders? That's a $349 purchase that will pay for itself twice over this year, just in what you're not spending at the pump. Of course, we also have the $100 bare-bones specials (if they stay on the sale rack for more than an hour -- those things go fast!), full-carbon road bikes so light a newborn could put one on your roof rack, last year’s full suspension cross country machine, a rootbeer-brown Schwinn Varsity that is exactly like the one you had as a teenager, single-speed beach cruisers that are perfect for riding around the neighborhood, and much, much more.

Because everything we carry is donated to us, we never really know what’s going to be on the shelf from week to week, except that it will be awesome and a much better deal than buying new. 

Need another reason to buy your new ride here? How about the fact that these bike sales are the primary source of funding for our community-transforming charitable programs! Yup, you can buy your bike here and leave knowing that your purchase is a good value for your money; confident that the bike will last, since it's been fully refurbished by our professional mechanics; and feeling good since your purchase will enable us to continue providing free bikes, educational programming, job training, and more to thousands of youth and adults in need right here in the Salt Lake Valley.
