More about social gathering and Free Cycles programs:

Music and social gatherings can be important for healthy community.
Community spaces are vital, especially for the mental health of the 
community.

Gatherings also bring people into the community bicycle shop and
introduce people to the Free Cycles services, like 'Build a Bike' and 
'Open Shop'.

Any one can build a free bike after doing 90 minutes of service, and we 
assist
in the whole process. For bikes for kids 10 years of age and younger, no 
service
is required.  Open Shop provides space, tools and help for any one to 
come fix
their own bike for free.  These are donation based services.

Thank you!
