The Brake Room

Mission

Do you want 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! ***You do not have to be MSU student or faculty to attend.

 

When is it Open?

The Brake Room is currently open 6-8pm the first and third Thursday of the month, with the exception of university holidays. 

 

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.

 

Need Parts?

While in the future we plan to stock a small supply of common parts for purchase in the Brake Room, if you know you need some parts or accessory that you plan to install please bring them with you.
