• When are you hiring / do you hire students?
  • Yes, we hire undergrad students and are a fully student run shop. We typically hire once a year, and we post the opening on our instagram and on the ASUCD job board. Follow us on Instagram for hiring updates.
  • What are your hours?
  • We are open M-F 10am-5pm
  • What are you guys?
  • We are your one-stop-shop for all things bikes at UC Davis; on-campus, student-run, here to help you with anything bike-related. Free diagnostics and checkups, free helmets, free air, free vibes. We sell new and used bikes and all manners of accessories. We also do repairs and installations of all kinds.
  • What type of bikes do you have for sale or rent?
  • We have a variety of new and used bikes for sale, ranging from $150 to $1000+. We sell everything from single speeds to e-bikes, trikes and folding bikes. Our used selection changes all the time; prices tend to range from $150-$450. We also have leasing bikes available for a dollar-a-day in 1 quarter increments, and day rentals for short-term needs.
  • Where are you guys located?
  • We are located at the Silo, by the food trucks and the South Silo Market. Right in the heart of campus.
  • Are you still giving away free lights?
  • We are currently out of stock and don’t have any to give out. We get shipments monthly and don't have an ETA for our next batch.
  • Do you guys teach lessons on bike maintenance?
  • Due to the high demand for our services, we do not teach bike maintenance. There are resources available for this; the UC Davis Craft Center offers bike maintenance classes, and the Davis Bike Collective in downtown is also a great opportunity to learn how to fix your own bike.
  • Do you lend tools?
  • We cannot lend tools out (for safety and liability reasons), but we are happy to do minor adjustments for free if you need. We also have tools for sale for basic repairs, and there are repair stations around campus that can be helpful for doing repairs.
  • Do you only fix Bike Barn bikes or can I bring my own to get repaired?

  • We are happy to work on all bikes (within reason), regardless of whether you got it from us or not. And we are not only open to students, everyone is welcome at the Bike Barn.

  • Does The Bike Barn work on electric scooters?
  • No. The bike barn does not work on electric scooters.
  • How do I get a free helmet?
  • You can get a free helmet by completing the Helmet Hair, Don’t Care survey; you can find the survey by googling the name, or by scanning our QR code. Once completed, you’ll receive an email with a QR code that you can show to a Bike Barn mechanic to collect your helmet.
  • Could I sell my bike to the Bike Barn?
  • We are your most convenient option to sell or donate your bike, but we don’t offer the most money. We typically offer $15 to $50 for a used bike, depending on brand and condition, but you should stop by to get a quote. Please note: in certain cases, we may only accept it as a donation.
