Pop -Up Bicycle Repair Workshops Overview: The Bicycle Tree sets up pop-up bicycle repair workshops at which participants are able to learn about bicycle maintenance while we guide them through a checkup and quick tune-up of their bikes. Participation is hands-on to facilitate greater understanding of how the bike functions. Goals: To identify mechanical problems and other issues detracting from the bicycle's usefulness, repair what we are able to under the circumstances, and teach bicycle owners about how their bikes work and should be maintained. Details: We will setup our workstation at up to two City of Santa Ana -sponsored events during the funding period. We will be present throughout the duration of the event. As appropriate, at least one Bicycle Tree staff member who speaks Spanish will be available throughout the event. Any member of the public attending the event who brings their bike will be able to have their bike checked out and any issues explained to them. As time, materials, and tools at hand permit, we will perform basic maintenance on participants' bikes. Participants will participate in executing the repairs. Table 3.
