Village Bicycle Cooperative opens new work space in Bay Village Community House

Volunteers and residents work on bicycles in the new workshop.

The nonprofit Village Bicycle Cooperative kicked off the warm weather biking season with the opening of its new workshop space in the Bay Village Community House on Saturday, May 4.

The new space enables the nonprofit to provide a great new area for volunteers to repair and upgrade donated bicycles for resale at affordable prices. People are welcome to stop in to have their bicycles' safety checked, volunteer, obtain assistance with their own bicycle repairs or purchase bicycles.

Besides repairing bikes, Village Bicycle has plans to offer safe biking education programs and encourage the use of bicycles throughout the community with planned events. The workshop will be open at various times during the week. For a schedule of shop hours, or to learn how to become active in the cooperative, visit the Village Bicycle's website at www.villagebicycle.org.
