Both racing and repair programs will be on hold for the summer, since Rebecca Jensen (RJ) will be gone bicycle touring!
Learning how bikes work; and other things.
Bikery Repair is a bicycle repair class for youth supported by the Walla Walla Community Center for Youth.
Students have the opportunity to complete the program (a series of 8 topics) and volunteer their time to earn a bike to fix and keep OR drop in with their own bike during Open Shop and learn how to repair and maintain it.
The mission of Bikery Repair is to teach not only bicycle repair, but the larger skills of problem solving and critical thinking along the way.

Bikery Repair: CURRENTLY CLOSED
Due to low and spotty attendance to Bikery Repair, we are refocusing our energies on starting a middle school cycling team at Garrison Middle School. Bike repair workshops will still happen periodically and high school team members will soon be required to help out in the shop to build bikes for our middle school racers.

Do you have a bike to DONATE?
Do you have a bike to DONATE?
You can drop it off at Allegro Cyclery on the corner of Spokane St. and Main St. in downtown Walla Walla!
Depending on the condition of the bicycle, we may use it to teach bike repair or fix it up for a middle schooler to ride!
