Costs

You won't find price tags at Bike Forth - payment is flexible, it's all about fairness, equity, ability, and inclination. This is strange, eh?, but we hope you get the drift. To be clear, we ask for $5 donation per hour spent in the shop, and a fair contribution for whatever parts and materials are used (we do have a recommended donation range for each type of part). In lieu of a donation we're also happy to have your volunteer time in exchange; we ask for 1/2 the time spent using the space - if you spend two hours in the shop, stay another hour to volunteer. Keep in mind that there are many real and significant expenses to run Bike Forth (including rent, insurance, utilities, improvements), it's in your hands to contribute enough to keep the community shop afloat.
