RAD Springfield brings bike repair education and open tool access to Springfield’s downtown, community members and neighborhoods. RAD is open every Monday and Friday, 2-6 pm, and is located inside Make-It Springfield, 286 Bridge Street, in downtown Springfield.
RAD invites volunteer technicians of all ages to help with and learn bike repair, and the public can stop in to purchase refurbished bikes, drop off bikes for repair or donate bikes.
