Welcome to Rag & Bones! We are a volunteer-run bicycle co-operative located in Northside in Richmond, Virginia. We are a D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) space, not a traditional bike shop. That means that when you come in, you will be provided with all the tools and knowledge you need to complete your bike repair yourself. Our staff mechanics are here to guide you, not do the work for you. Our open hours essentially function as a tool share, where you pay for time with the tools and mechanic. Currently, stand time and tool use costs $5 for 30 minutes.
Please note that we are not able to work on e-bikes. Please visit our FAQs page to learn more about what repairs we can and cannot do.
What To Expect
When you come in, our front desk host will greet you and direct you to sign-in. From there, you will be directed to an open stand to work on your bike, and an available mechanic will assist you in getting started.
When you enter our space, you are agreeing to our Space Policies. Those are:
- I will treat each person with mutual respect of gender pronouns, expressed identities, bodies, and spaces.
- I will ask questions, share information, and listen actively in effort to empower others, learn together, and experience personal growth.
- I will be responsible for myself and my actions, including any requests that I modify my behavior.
- I accept a shared responsibility to hold myself and others accountable to these agreements.
