The Brake Room
MissionAre you a student and want to learn how to repair or maintain your bike or already know and want access to a well-equipped bike shop and perhaps help others learn? Learn to work on your own bike in our workshop, the first bike repair workshop on campus for MSU Bikes. You’ll learn how to repair your bike from our experienced staff, who work for MSU. The Brake Room is also a place to just come and hangout with other people who share a passion for sustainable non-motorized transportation! However, you MUST let us know via email or phone that you’re coming as there is limited workshop space and staffing capacity. |

What’s There
There are two work benches, two double-workstands (to work on up to 4 bikes at a time) with a great selection of bike repair tools available on a first-come-first-served basis.
