Can’t make it? We will be holding two more Bike Tune-up and Commuter Resource Fairs this summer on July 14 and August 10.
*Due to limited slots for tune-ups, free tune-ups are available first-come, first-serve for WashU employees. Tune-ups cover basic maintenance only; bike owners may be referred to a bike shop if repair needs do not fit within the scope of the basic tune-up.
