Ride Ready Repair Services

Supporting Cyclists through Education, Mentoring, and Bike Repair

SABA supports cyclists through hands-on education, youth mentoring, and professional bike repair. We operate our “pop-up” clinics in residential and business complexes, schools, parks, and at various community events.  This past year, we made over 2,000 bicycles ride-ready.

Training Tomorrow's Mechanics

We offer special Ride Ready clinics designed to teach the fundamentals of bicycle maintenance and repair. Safe riding classes led by a cycling instructor certified by the League of American Cyclists contribute to this comprehensive program. New Mechanic Orientation takes place every second Wednesday 6-9 pm at SABA headquarters.

A Community Focus

The costs associated with taking your bike to a local bike shop for even basic repairs are beyond the economic means of many of our citizens. To eliminate this obstacle, SABA works with schools and community organizations to help them envision, plan, create, and operate their all-community-run, not-for-profit bike center.

This educational program incorporates expert instruction and mentoring from SABA mechanics, textbook and online video content from the Park Tool School, and crucial hands-on experience gained by working alongside our mechanics at our repair clinics. We are fortunate to have several mechanics come to SABA with years of experience in bike collective operations and management.

Supplemental programmatic resources are made available online. Our programs are open to all, regardless of age, race, gender, orientation, political affiliation, immigration status, or religion.

"I am a full-time bicycle commuter (8-years car free). I brought my bike in to have a new chain installed at SABA’s clinic. SABA volunteer mechanic Mike was adept and very knowledgeable. He installed my new chain and took the time to answer my questions about how a chain should be properly installed. 

He also gave my bike a thorough look-over, tightened the rack, lubricated fittings, and brought to my attention I should replace the left derailleur soon. On top of that, Mike replaced the worn-out grips, which I thought was above-and-beyond. My experience was first-rate, and much appreciated, as I rely on my bike to for everything from getting to work and doctor’s appointments, grocery shopping and laundry runs. SABA has been an invaluable resource and support system for me. Thank you!"
