Mechanical Tempest is coming back SOON!
Whew it has been awhile! After a hiatus of some two years looking for a place, we now have some light at the end of the tunnel – we look forward to restart our operations soon (ETA May 2024)! Our new address will be: 1 Brooklyn Road, Mt Cook, in the Central Park Apartments.
Mechanical Tempest is Wellington’s community bike workshop! You can come here to fix your bike, build one out of our bits and pieces, and learn about what you need to do to keep your bike running smoothly and safely.
We offer a space for you to work on your bike, all the tools you will need, spare parts, and assistance from volunteer mechanics. We’re always happy to help you learn, no matter what your skill level!
We do not charge a fee for using the workshop or any of our parts, but we ask that you leave some money (or snacks!) as koha, which goes towards keeping the shop running.
Want to help out? We’re always looking for volunteers! Fill in the volunteer form, email themechanicaltempest@gmail.com or show up when we’re open and introduce yourself!
