Got my front brakes fixed today, thanks to Nick for helping a ton. Friendly volunteers and a really nice place overall. You would also learn in the process of fixing stuff so that's super helpful. Prices are quite affordable. Best place in Davis for bikes I would say 🚲

Such a wonderful resource to have here in Davis! The volunteers were incredibly helpful, and patient and kind as they helped my 12 year old son fix up his bike. As we biked way he said “oh wow, it’s SO MUCH BETTER!!” with a huge smile on his face :-)
