Want to Join?
Regardless of your experience, whether you have worked in a professional bike shop, fix bikes at home, or have no experience (as is how many currently on the team started out), there’s a way for you to become a bike mechanic. If you come in with little experience or would like an overview in fixing bikes, sign up for the mechanics course in winter, whereby upon completion, you are eligible to apply and become a mechanic yourself. We normally hire new mechanics at the end of winter or early spring term – keep an eye out for a JobX posting. First years are especially encouraged to apply.
