About

The Bike Co-op began in 2005 as a heap of bicycles in need of being refurbished. It was a joint initiative supported by:

  • The Environmental Campus Organization
  • Student Senate
  • The former Mountain Biking Club
  • The Health and Exercise Science department
  • The Student Recreation Center
  • The International Club
  • The Environmental Studies Minor Committee

The Bike Co-op has filled an important niche in the university and Kirksville communities by providing superior training opportunities and access to affordable high-quality parts and tools.

The main mission is to establish an educational training space on campus for bike repair under the guidance of a trained mechanic. Co-op members are helping to sustain a unique resource and service that helps to create a bridge between university and the greater Kirksville Community.

Location

The Bike Co-op is located next to Grim Hall and the Adair Building.

What we do

We are happy to assist customers in the following:

  • Fixing a flat tire (needs air, needs to be patched)
  • Fixing problems with your chain (sticky links, needs chain lube, wrong length, etc.)
  • Fixing problems with your derailleur (won’t switch to certain gears, skipping gears, making a weird noise, etc.)
  • Making adjustments (tire rubs the frame, seat post is the wrong height, etc.)
  • Truing a tire (spokes need to be adjusted so they tire is the correct shape again)
  • Overhauling the wheels, freewheel, bottom bracket, or the headset (the ball bearings need to be replaced, new grease is needed, etc.)
  • Fixing brakes (new cables are needed, cables need to be adjusted, need new brake pads, etc.)
