DC Bike Ride provides mechanical support along the course, and our team of Mobile Mechanics is vital to the success of this operation 🛠️🚴‍♂️

Supported by our longtime partners Conte's Bike Shop, these rolling heroes ride alongside riders and help with quick fixes to keep you moving from start to finish.

If you know your way around a bike, join our squad of Mobile Mechanics. We are looking for handy riders who can fix a stubborn chain or a surprise flat. You'll cruise the car-free streets, help fellow cyclists, and in exchange for your expertise, experience the DC Bike Ride for FREE!
