Derailer Bicycle Collective - 411 Lipan St - Denver - 303-893-0305
This is one of the coolest things happening in Denver: The Build-a-Bike program is for Denver's bike-less population. This time in the shop gives priority to those who need a bicycle and want to go through the process of building one from the ground up, learning about all the working parts, internal mechanisms, and maintenance along the way. It is also an opportunity for people who want or need a different size or style of bike and need help building one up. If you are interested, come to Derailer during our hours and sign up. With the help of a volunteer you will pick out a frame that fits your body and preference, and begin making it your own. The process will take at least two three-hour sessions to complete, during which most every aspect of a bike will be taken on, repaired or installed on the bike, including the drive train, wheels, steering and brakes. We will house the work-in-progress for you, but if you do not show up or call for two weeks in a row, your bike will return to the up-for-grabs pile. We are working towards providing bicycle helmets and locks for everyone who "graduates" from the Build-a-Bike Program. Make sure to sign up! Thursdays 3 - 7 PM
