Location: Diag - Central Campus
Organized By: Planet Blue Student Leaders

Join Planet Blue Student Leaders (PBSL)and Ann Arbor's Common Cycle for a winter bike repair pop-up on the Diag on November 16th!

As a part of our "Sustainability & You" week, all students are welcome to receive free help to fix up their bikes before winter! Common Cycle will be there to help you learn how to take care of your bike and how to ride safely through the winter months. Our stand will run from 11am-1pm in the Diag.

The alternative Weather location is outside the Dentistry School, facing N University Ave.

If you're not able to make it, check out the UMich Student social media pages that week to access resources for winter cycling and free bike maintenance in Ann Arbor! Additional Common Cycle and PBSL resources can be found in the links for this event.

No reservations or payments are needed. Free and open to all students. Note that this may result in lines and longer wait times for support. Expected for students to remain there while their bike is being worked on and to aid in said process-no experience in repair necessary, just a willingness to learn!

DPSS will be promoting on-campus property registration, bike safety, and resources for bike theft prevention, with a limited distribution of U-locks upon registration to UM affiliates who do not already have one.

Special thanks to Ann Arbor Common Cycle-learn more about them in the attached links!
