Fix-it Fairs are FREE City of Portland events where you can learn simple ways to save money and connect with a wide range of community resources. At these fairs, you can talk to experts about health and well-being, food and nutrition, home repair and weatherization, gardening and composting, transportation, and a more.
Bikes for Humanity, with support from Safe Routes to School, will provide FREE basic bike repair for students and families. Typical repairs performed include tightening of brakes, fixing flat tires and adjusting shifters. Plan on having your bike there early so the amazing volunteers have time to complete the needed work before the Fix-it Fair closes.
Bikes for Humanity will also give a free workshop at 10:00 am on Flat Tire Repair and Chain Repair if you want to learn some basic bike maintenance and repair skills you can perform yourself. Other workshops are offered throughout the day on topics such as reducing stress, home energy savings, buying your first home, and growing vegetables in containers.
