Alameda County BikeMobile
In-Person BikeMobile Visits
Once a bike breaks down, it may go unridden for months or years. That’s where we come in. The BikeMobile’s hands-on bike repair clinics help people get back on their bikes and learn valuable maintenance skills. Whether it’s fixing a flat tire, a brake tune-up, or oiling a rusty chain, our mechanics will keep you rolling with a smile. Our clinics are great for all ages, and are available to schools, community organizations, and family friendly public events. Invite us to join an existing event or make us the main attraction!

The Alameda County BikeMobile program is funded by the Alameda County Transportation Commission.
We kindly remind everyone that California state law requires all bicyclists under the age of 18 to wear a helmet.
Note for School Visits: We cannot repair bikes not belonging to guardians or school staff.
Note for Public Events: If there is high demand, we prioritize repairing youth bikes. Educational services are open to everyone, even for those without a bike.
