Bicycle Mechanic

We are hiring an experienced bicycle mechanic for the spring and summer season (April/May through mid-August or Labor Day). This role is ideal for someone who takes pride in precise mechanical work, enjoys a fast-paced shop environment, and wants consistent, structured hours during peak riding season. Scheduling is flexible within the seasonal window — from 16 to 40 hours per week, depending on availability and shop needs. Reports to the Service Manager.

Requirements

• 1–2 years of bicycle repair experience
• Experience in a reputable bicycle shop strongly preferred
• Must ride bicycles and understand the rider experience

This is not an entry-level position. You should be comfortable completing standard service work independently.

Responsibilities

• Complete basic tune-ups efficiently and accurately
• Perform quick repairs and safety checkovers
• Build new bicycles to manufacturer specifications
• Perform final quality checks on all new bike builds before delivery
• Install accessories including racks, lights, computers, child seats, and related components
• Inspect rental fleet bikes to ensure safety and readiness
• Maintain a clean, organized, and professional service area
• Communicate clearly with the Service Manager regarding workflow, timelines, and parts needs

You will be expected to balance efficiency with high mechanical standards, especially during peak summer volume.

Opportunities for Advanced Work

Mechanics with higher levels of experience may have opportunities to take on more complex repairs, including advanced drivetrain work, hydraulic brake service, suspension-related service, and deeper diagnostic troubleshooting. Level of responsibility will be matched to demonstrated skill, experience, and consistency.

Who This Role Fits Well

• A college student home for the summer with shop experience
• A teacher looking for structured summer hours in an active environment
• An experienced mechanic seeking a strong seasonal opportunity
• A rider who values craftsmanship and teamwork

We can work around reasonable summer travel plans when communicated in advance.

What We Value

• Attention to detail and pride in workmanship
• Consistent and dependable work habits
• Friendly and professional demeanor
• Ability to identify additional service needs and communicate them clearly
• Respect for tools, systems, and shop standards

Benefits

• Full employee purchase benefits available 2 weeks after start date

• High-volume environment that keeps your skills sharp
• Positive, team-oriented culture
• Generous employee purchase program
