Volunteering

Published by fishbulb

Photo by Gary Se7enDo you want to be an active part of the growing community of bicyclists in greater LA?
Do you want to know how to fix a flat, rebuild your bottom bracket, or build up a bike from a box of parts?
Do you like hanging out with smarmy hipsters that wear tight pants and have funny moustaches?
Then boy–do we have the gig for you!!!

Become a volunteer at the illustrious, yet still relatively obscure, grandiose, yet still quite small and humble, biggest little bike co-op in town!

THE BIKEROWAVE!

The Bikerowave is a not-for-profit, D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) bike repair co-operative that services L.A.’s west side, with an all volunteer staff of local bicycle enthusiasts.

At the Bikerowave we teach cyclists how to maintain their bikes, and help them with difficult repairs, making the joy of biking accessible to all.

  • Volunteering does not require mechanical know-how as there are a multitude of positions and responsibilities that need just as much attention as the bikes themselves. As such, we are always looking for fresh faces to help us grow, and to grow along with us.
  • If wrenching is your thing, but you don’t know a bearing from a braze-on, no problem. You can start as a Shadow Mechanic, hone your skills, progress to Mechanic, and eventually learn enough to be Head Mechanic.
  • If you want to help, but just can’t make a regular shift because of school, work, or that unruly macrame club you belong to, we have several committees (from fun to financial) that could always use more help. Volunteering for a committee in addition to a shift is also encouraged.


Now that you know a little bit about us, the next step is to tell us a little bit about yourself.


Download, print, and fill out the Volunteer Application.
Please bring the completed application to a Host at Bikerowave during open hours, preferably during the shift you intend to work (if applicable). Feel free to hang around and begin to get to know the crew and the shop.



Thanks and see you there!
