Two Bikes Chattanooga – Grand Opening Party!
Location: We are located on the side entrance of 1810 E. Main St., Chattanooga, TN 37404
Hours: Saturday, April 13th, 12pm – 6pm
What We Offer: Community workspace, affordable refurbished bikes, youth workforce development, community bike rides, and free bicycles for underserved community members.
What to Expect: Two Bikes is an inclusive space designed to promote cycling. We operate a full store front with recycled bicycles, new and used parts and accessories, and a space for the public to work on bikes. When available, we’ll help you wrench on your bike too! For our grand opening we’ll be working on bikes, listening to music, and grilling food all day. There might even be some special appearances from regional celebrity cyclists (like Pharris, Gaston, Tom, Lynne, Derick, Jarrod, Andrew, maybe some Nashville folks, and maybe some Asheville folks!).
Community Work Station: Two Bikes Chattanooga has one fully equip public work station with professional quality tools for public use.
Affordable Bikes: We offer affordable, recycled bicycles to help create more access to the benefits of bicycling. You can expect us to have about 30 bikes for you to test ride anytime!
Free Bikes: We partner with local nonprofits to distribute free bicycles as transportation to underserved community members. We donate a bike for each bike sold!
Food: My plan is to get the grill running around 1 with a little luck! Expect dogs and veggie dogs.
