Do you, or someone you know, need a flat tire fixed or have basic bike maintenance needs or questions?

Oaks and Spokes will be set up at Peach Road Cultural Center to provide bike maintenance services. We can assist with minor repairs, adjustments, and answer any questions you may have about your bike or riding in Raleigh.

*This event is intended for adults who are unable to afford bike repair services.
**We will only be able to perform minor repairs. While we will have tools and spare parts available, if your bike requires significant maintenance beyond what can be provided at this pop-up, we recommend visiting a local bike shop for complete service.

At the start of every new year, Oaks and Spokes hosts its annual member party, a social gathering for all current and soon-to-be members to come together as a community, interact with vendors, and learn about plans for the upcoming year.

City representatives will be available to discuss upcoming projects and public engagement opportunities. Additionally, Safe Routes to School Wake County will be present to share information about their work and their partnership with Oaks and Spokes. The evening will conclude with a brief update from our friends at the Raleigh Community Kickstand, followed by a presentation from the Oaks and Spokes Director about what is in store for the organization in 2025.

Light refreshments will be provided free of charge. If you're a member, your first drink is on us! Transfer Co. also offers several food options for those craving a meal.

*The Annual Member Party is also the last opportunity to vote for incoming Board members. Incoming Board candidates will be present at the party if you are interested in meeting with any of them before voting.

We are hosting four monthly winter bike education workshops at Raleigh Brewing on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:00 PM. Each workshop will last about an hour and cover a different topic. We will leave some time after each workshop for questions and one-on-one help. 

Today's workshop:

Tuesday, February 11th: The ABCs of Basic Bike Maintenance:
This workshop will cover essential aspects of basic bike maintenance. Keeping your bike in safe, working order doesn’t have to be a mystery! We’ll share everything you need to know to keep you rolling longer.

Upcoming workshops:

Tuesday, March 11th: Wayfinding and Connectivity:
Getting around Raleigh on a bike can be challenging, but there are plenty of ways to plan your rides for utility and convenience. We’ll explore tips for trip planning and using Raleigh’s bike networks to get from point A to point B.

Tuesday, April 8th: How to Shop for a Bike on Facebook Marketplace:
Shopping for a used bike can feel daunting if you’re unfamiliar with the process. In this workshop, we’ll guide you through the steps of buying a used bike, what to look for, what to avoid, and how to use smart tactics to ensure you end up with a great, new-to-you bicycle.

GoTriangle has suspended service for all routes after 6 pm. This will affect our ability to get a ride back from Durham. As a result, we will postpone until next month. 

Get comfortable with transit by riding with friends.

We'll take the 4:10 DRX from GoRaleigh Station in Downtown Raleigh to GoDurham Station in Downtown Durham. From there, we'll walk over to Ment Beverage in the American Tobacco campus and grab a drink. Then, we'll take the 6:15 or 6:55 DRX bus back to Raleigh.

We recommend that you either walk to GoRaleigh station, if you can and that makes sense for you, or lock your bike up in a visible area in Downtown Raleigh. There are only two spots for bikes on the bus and we don't want to take those spaces away from anyone who may need it.
