Since we were rained out early last week, we are bringing back one more chance to get your bike tuned up before summer!
Join the Operations & Facilities Management Department, in partnership with the Office of Sustainability, for a FREE bike tune up May 26 from 10am – 12pm at Olin Circle Drive!
The free bike tune-ups will be performed by Vanimal, a mobile bike shop that provides repair services for every kind of bike. This locally operated company has creatively managed to fit a whole repair station in the back of a van! Within these few cubic meters, Francesca DeRanzo, owner and operator of Vanimal, performs repairs and shares basic maintenance tips that will extend the life of your bike and increase safety.
* Free Tune-Ups Rules:
- Bike tune-ups are provided to WashU faculty, staff, and students only.
- Please check in at the sustainability table (look for people wearing the sustainability shirt!)
- There are 12 spots for this free tune-ups. We cannot guarantee service for bikes brought after 11:30am or after the 12th slot is full. Bikes will generally be served on a first-come, first-serve basis.
- Free tune-ups cover basic maintenance only; bike owners may purchase parts on site or will be referred to a bike shop if repair needs do not fit within the scope of the basic tune-up.
- You will be able to leave your bike for repair and receive a text when it is ready for pick up. In the mean time, visit the farmers’ market!
- All bikes must be picked up by 12:00pm when the event ends. Bike tune up staff do not take responsibility for bikes left after 12:00pm.
