First three Sundays (June 6, 13, 20) - Community Cycles Rolling Bike Clinics Rolling Bike Clinics (RBCs) are bicycle powered mobile bike shops designed to fix broken bikes in low and medium income neighborhoods in Boulder. Volunteer bike mechanics load large capacity bike trailers with all the tools and parts needed for a mobile bike shop. Then they ride to the neighborhood, set up shop and fix bikes for a day.
