-Free Bike Repair Day with BikeMobile: We want to see more families riding their bikes to the Alameda Free Library. That’s why we’ve invited the BikeMobile to provide free tune ups & repairs for parents and children. The BikeMobile can fix flat tires, adjust brakes and gears, and even replace broken or worn out parts like chains, seats, and tires. The only thing it can’t do is replace missing wheels or gears. While the mechanics work on your bike they’ll explain how to keep it running smooth. Bike or no bike, everyone is welcome to attend to learn about maintenance, safety, and more! This is a first come, first serve event. Space is limited to 20 people. Bring your bikes to the Alameda Free Library on August 17th between 11 am - 2 pm. We look forward to seeing you there!
