Grrreasetime! is an open shop time created in partnership with local shops and community groups. Monthly Grrrease Times are hosted at Somerville Bike Kitchen. Upcoming events can be found on Facebook, Instagram, or by signing up for the monthly newsletter.

Open shop time provides a space for FTW cyclists to work on their bikes, with assistance and guidance available to teach what is needed. Whether someone is an experienced mechanic, total beginner, or somewhere in between, this space is for everyone! The goal is to help participants learn how to fix their own bikes, rather than fixing them for them. Whether there is a specific project in mind or just a desire to learn, all are welcome to come by.

During open shop, bike stands are first come, first serve, and not everyone might be able to get their bike in a stand, but every effort will be made. The aim is to have the tools in participants' hands and encourage learning together.
