About Me

We just finished hosting the BikeBike conference of community and recycled bike projects here in Pittsburgh! To see how it went, check out www.urbanvelo.org/bikebike
Free Ride is not a traditional repair shop, where you drop off a bike and someone fixes it, but a bicycle educational facility. There is that old saying "if you give a person a fish they will eat for one day but if you teach them how to fish they will eat for a lifetime." That is our basic philosophy at Free Ride!
We are also hosting this year's Bike Bike Conference, a gathering of non-profit and community bike shops. Check out www.bikebike.org for more info.
