The Bike Church is a project of the Hub for Sustainable Living and has been Santa Cruz's only community bike shop since 1998. Our shop functions in a DIY/DIT (Do-It-Together) manner: we provide the tools, space and instruction for individuals to fix their own bike with the guidance of knowledgeable mechanics. We ask for a donation of $5-10 per hour to use the shop, or a monthly/annual membership. No one is turned away for lack of funds. We provide used and new parts for affordable prices, and have many used bikes for sale. We give away kids bikes for free. We also have lovely volunteers who help run the shop. The Bike Church is run by a collective of mechanics who are all paid equally. We use consensus to make decisions about the running of the shop.
