User Reviews of Tinkers Workshop

Yelp.com Review - by Bryce N.

5.0 of 5 stars. The drop-in bicycle repair shop is a great service to the community. It is always busy, but they find time to help everyone. They also offer sewing, woodshop and nature programs.

5.0 of 5 stars. Free tools, free help, free knowledge. I have only used the Street Side Cycles portion of Waterside Workshops. There's also sewing and boat crafting. This is an East Bay jewel.
