BikeAthens is a non-profit organization in Athens, Georgia that works to build equity in transportation. We advocate for a safe and connected city, repair bikes for people who need them, and teach safe cycling to people of all ages.

Fix Your Own Bike is tonight from 6PM-8:30PM. $10/hr suggested donation. Link in bio for what to expect.

One thing people notice when they use their bike for transportation is that from time to time, the bike needs work. If you would like any help, we FYOB every Thursday night. Sometimes all you need is smart advice, the right tools and some spare parts.

Programming Notes: Tonight's soundtrack will feature Kim Deal - No One Loves You More (2024), Amyl and the Sniffers - Cartoon Darkness (2024), PyPy - Sacred Times (2024), and Built to Spill - Ancient Melodies of the Future (2001).
