Join Generator and Sandbox at Zero Gravity for a fun, FREE, hands-on, community powered Bike & Gear Repair Fair from 4-8pm on Wednesday, May 14th!
Have a bike that needs a little TLC, a torn jacket, broken buckle, or a pack that’s seen better days? Let us help you fix it! Throwaway culture has become widespread and every patch, stitch, and fix helps keep useful gear out of the landfill.
Rather than extracting additional resources to make something new, we should focus on extracting as much life as possible from what we already have. It’s a simple shift with a big impact—and we’re here to help!
Here’s what’s on deck:
Bike Repair
We will have two stations set up for basic bike tune-ups. Our volunteer mechanics will be focusing on safety checks, clean drivetrains, and dialed-in brakes and shifting. We won’t have spare parts on-hand, so it’s more tune-up than overhaul.
Gear & Clothing Repair
Generator & The Sandbox will be on-site with sewing machines, scrap fabric, and other supplies. Whether it’s a torn jacket, busted strap, or frayed pack, bring it by — we’ll fix what we can on-site and can help make arrangements for more complicated repairs.
Custom Decals & 3D Printing Fun
While you wait come learn more about 3D printing, and design and make your own custom vinyl decals! Repairing gear is fun, but customizing your gear is the ultimate upgrade!
Hang Out & Hydrate
This whole thing will take place at Zero Gravity, and they have some of the best beer and food in the area. So, come for the fixes, but stick around for the food and friends.
This event is totally FREE!
So, whether you’ve been getting out all winter or just dug your gear out of winter storage, join us at Zero Gravity on Wednesday, May 14th and let Generator and The Sandbox help make sure you’re ready to roll!
