CLOSED Due to Poor Air Quality

Posted on by November 20, 2018

Tuesday, 11/20/18 UPDATE:

The Bad News: As smoke continues to settle downtown and keep the Air Quality Index in the Unhealthy range, we will not be open tonight.

The Good News: Forecasts show improved air quality for Wednesday, 11/21/18, so we will be able to reopen Wednesday at 6pm for one more shift before we are closed for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.  

*****************************************************************

SBK will be closed today and will not re-open until the air quality improves. Due to the many factors affecting how long the smoke will hang out, we cannot predict when we will be able to re-open but will update or remove this post when we are able to resume regular shop hours.  

Thank you for your understanding.

Other things to know:

  • The purpose of all SBK classes is to *teach* you how to perform bicycle repairs. Therefore, we cannot be held responsible for any damage your bicycle may incur during the class nor can we guarantee that you will have a functioning bicycle at the end of the class, especially if your bicycle was not functioning properly prior to the class.

  • We have experience working with a variety of bicycles, but not all of them! If you surprise us with some exotic machine we’ve never seen before we’ll be happy to take a look at it and may even want to take some pictures, but we can’t guarantee we’ll know what’s best for it mechanically.

Interested?

Great! Please RSVP to classes@sacbikekitchen.org
