*Volunteer Days are for Bike Cave staff and Volunteers to build re-cycles and maintain co-op. Volunteers will be scheduled in based volunteer availability and staff needs. |
Note that hour of business are approximate during the summer; much of the Cave's staff are volunteer. Times in late summer and fall will become more predictable as more students return to assist in the work at the Cave. The most up to date weekly schedule is always posted on the door of the Bike Cave. Take the Campus Loop bus to the Supple Science stop and walk down the hill to check us out; work on your bicycle; or sign up to volunteer! |
