The Bike Station began in November 2021 as a small monthly outdoor volunteer meetup in the Tower District, with light attendance yet tremendous enthusiasm. Gradually, more people began to attend, with some returning to volunteer as well. To meet the demand for a greater capacity of services, FCBC was able to secure grant funding from New Belgium Brewing and Sacramento Bike Kitchen, allowing The Bike Station to parter with local bike shop Tower Velo and upgrade the Bike Station’s tools and components.
Most recently, Earth Day 2023 at Fresno City College was an incredible success, with Bike Station having donated 9 kids’ bikes to the public, provided free, secure Bike Valet parking for attendees who cycled to the event, and offered supervised hands-on tech experience to over a dozen bicycle owners.
Bike Station is a pop-up event to help you tune-up your bicycle for FREE! We teach you how to get your bicycle back in proper riding condition! Does your bicycle need some love ? Do you want to learn how to fix, but need the tools and a little guidance? Gears not engaging? Wheels wobbly and not rolling? Tires need patching and pumping? Brakes not stopping? Mysterious squeaks and squeals? We've got the tools, workstands, cables, tubes, lube and grease. Experienced volunteers will be there to guide you to repair your bicycle. The monthly DIY Clinic regularly takes place at the Van Ness Village lot, 1400 block of North Van Ness Avenue, between Floradora and Home. Sponsored by Tower Velo Bicycle Shop & Fresno County Bicycle Coalition.
