If you have a flat tire, if your gears aren't working right, or if you have any other problems with your ride, bring it over to the shop. The mechanics there will either fix it while you wait, or you can leave it to be fixed and pick it up a few days later.
If you have any questions, the current mechanics can be reached at rgw1 or jy1
The Purple Bike Coalition is seeking donations of bicycles that would otherwise be abandoned. If you are a senior who does not need their bike anymore, or if you are an underclassman never uses their bike, we'd appreciate it. We will repair it, then sell it cheaply to another member of the Williams community to raise additional funds for parts, tools, etc.
