Durham Bike Co-op

Several Options (select during signup):

• My bicycle needs repair — You'll work alongside one of our volunteer mechanics and fix it together.
• I need a bicycle — We have donated bikes available. You'll work with a volunteer mechanic and get one running!
• I'll work on my bicycle myself (DIY) — Occasional DIY space is available, but Thursday DIY sessions are the main time for this.

Time:

• Please expect to be at the session for the full 3pm-5pm time.
• If you are more than 15 minutes late your appointment will be made available to others on the waitlist.
• We can help you fix your bike / get a bike, but it will often take longer than you expect.
• It may take several Sunday sessions to fully complete things.
• If you do not have enough free time, you may want to consider other options (e.g. consider a more drop off based model like at one of Durham’s Local Bike Shops).

Clothing: We have aprons and gloves, but please wear “working-clothes” and closed toe shoes, as fixing up bikes tends to involve grease and dirt.

Masks: The DBC masking policy may be different for different shops/days. Current Sunday policy is: mask friendly / masks optional.

Membership: required to attend!
Yearly membership can be obtained for $30 or volunteering 3 hrs. If you are choosing to volunteer for your membership, you MUST complete your volunteer hours prior to utilizing the co-op’s resources. Otherwise, we will expect a $30 payment for your membership.

Waitlist: please join the waitlist, as our schedule doesn't solidify (ie, we know how many appointments we can support) until closer to the event.

Confirmations: please have a phone where you can receive messages/calls (as indicated in your signup preferences), as we do confirmations of all appointments, and we also confirm any moves from waitlist to appointments. These messages/calls happen in the Thursday-Saturday range.
