Bronx’s Bike Repair Clinic Fixes in Pelham Bay

Pelham Bay spun last night with the Bronx’s Bike Repair Clinic, tuning NYC’s spring at a park shed. Mechanic Tariq Evans wrenched gears as 100 rolled up, a free fix fest for wheels. It’s borough spokes—pure BX vibe, tools hot. A kid oiled a chain; a pro patched a flat. ‘Bronx rides—this is it,’ Evans says, spinning tires. The shed turned garage.

The clinic’s fresh—April 3’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing racks by 10 a.m. Evans, a Soundview fixer; last night’s crowd hit max—wrenches clanked. A latecomer nabbed a slot; grease smeared—NYC grit glowed. Tips hit $50—bikes ruled. #BronxBikeFix trended; Queens wants a wrench.

Some griped—’Too slow,’ sniped a rusher, dodging lines. Rust stuck—oil won; fixes held. A rival’s pitching a Mott Haven tune, splitting tools. Still, 150 stayed—wheels reigned. Pelham Bay’s never spun so bold.

Evans hints at a monthly run, maybe a ride if spring bites. ‘NYC’s roads—this smooths ‘em,’ he says, packing kits. The clinic’s a Bronx win—grit meets glide. It’s a bike rush; join the next. Bring a tire—gears call.
