What is the Caltech Bike Lab?

Caltech Bike Lab is a bike cooperative run by volunteers at Caltech, particularly students.

Joining Caltech Bike Lab is a great way to meet new people and learn new skills!

We are always interested in having members of the Caltech/JPL community visit the Bike Lab workspace, and help out by donating or volunteering at the shop or to host events. No prior experience required to get involved, just email us at bikeshop AT caltech DOT edu

We teach you how to fix/maintain your bike, organize classes on how to ride safely in the streets, host rides and other club events, teach classes on bike repair, and participate in local Pasadena/Los Angeles bike community outreach to try to make the streets safer for everyone, not just cars.

How can I access the Bike Lab?

The Caltech bike lab is open to the entire Caltech and JPL community.

Visitors may drop in on our regular office hours, where anyone can come and get access to tools and assistance with bike repair FREE without needing to get a key. See the schedule above.

Key access requires an annual membership fee of $10 or donation of a tool. E-mail us at bikeshop AT caltech.edu and we'll show you around the shop. If you're interested in volunteering at office hours, please contact us via email. Annual dues for volunteers are waived!

How to pay your annual dues:
For those of you who have a key -- you will find a stack of envelopes next to the donation box in the shop. Slip $10 in an envelope, write your name & email on it and put it in the donation box. Don't seal it, we can re-use the envelopes. Thank you! 45% of our annual budget is covered by you, the users.

We DO NOT have bikes for sale (we only do repair & have basic repair supplies in stock). If you are looking for a cheap bike, read this.

Yes, we take donations of bike parts and bikes. Come to any one of our volunteer office hours to donate (see Google Calendar above). Thanks!
