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 that 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 take advantage of the public programs we offer.

Iowa Bicycle Coalition’s Bike Shop Tour at the Iowa City Bike Library

Join the Iowa Bicycle Coalition and fellow cyclists for a fun-filled kickoff event of our exciting bike shop tour across Iowa! We’ll be gathering to celebrate at the Iowa City Bike Library located on South Gilbert Court in Iowa City, IA, USA.

Our goal is to talk to bike shops so we can learn how they are building the community of cyclists across our state and how we can support and showcase them – while also connecting that community to our efforts to enhance bicycle safety by passing legislation and supporting Safe Routes to School, and much more!

Free local food provided from Oasis Falafel courtesy of the Iowa Bicycle Coalition as well as a live band. Guest speaker Johnson County Supervisor Jon Green will talk about how you can support bike safety legislation this coming session and broader conservation efforts.
