Shop Operations

A volunteer in shop operations at Good Karma Bikes will typically get involved with:

Workstation improvements: Constructing custom workbenches, bike stands, storage solutions, and organizational systems tailored specifically to the shop's workflow and space constraints.

Equipment modifications: Adapting existing tools and equipment to better serve the shop's needs, creating custom mounting systems, and building specialized holders for parts and components.

Workshop projects: Taking on various handyman tasks that improve the shop's functionality, such as building custom shelving, creating mobile tool carts, or constructing display systems for refurbished bicycles.

Repair assistance: Using general building and mechanical skills to help with non-bicycle projects that support shop operations, such as fixing furniture, building educational displays, or creating community program materials.

Problem-solving support: Applying handyman skills to address unique operational challenges, whether that's creating better storage solutions, improving workspace ergonomics, or building custom solutions for specific shop needs.

This role combines practical building skills with creative problem-solving to enhance the shop's capabilities and efficiency. It's perfect for someone with general handyman experience who wants to use their skills to support the bicycle repair mission in hands-on, project-based ways.
