Bike Tuneups for the 7/8 Bike Trip

Bike Trip preparation has already begun! The bike trip will be taking place June 5 - 8, 2023 and each student is required to have their bike be properly checked over by a bike shop. This typically costs around $110 at a local shop for a basic tune-up to $175 or more for a thorough tune-up. The Great River “Ridey Tighty” bike shop offers comprehensive check-ups for $70. and all bicycles going on the trip need to be tuned up. The GRS bike shop offers full tuneups for $70, about half the cost at a typical bike shop.

All bikers must fill out the 2023 Bike Shop Tuneup form; this will take you through the process of signing up for a GRS tuneup, or document if you will do a tuneup at a local shop.

Student-mechanics tune up all bikes, under the supervision of bike shop guide Johnny Wakefield. We not only tune your bike to perfection, we clean it like nobody’s business. All funds raised through the Bike Shop are either directed towards the cost of the end of year Bike Trip or are reinvested in the Bike Shop program.
