Upcoming Events
Viva CalleSJ2026
Viva CalleSJ is a free Open Streets program in San José that transforms streets into car-free spaces for walking, biking, and community connection. Good Karma Bikes along with our wonderful volunteers will provide a bike maintenance station (flat repair, brake adjustment, etc.) to keep you rolling.
​
There are three events planned again on Sundays for 2026:
✔ April 19th

Skills Building:
Hybraulic Brakes
​
We have another Skills Building Session — this one is all about Hydraulic Brakes!
​
We will kick things off with an overview of how hydraulic brakes work and how to diagnose and fix common issues. From there, we'll pair up and dive into a full repair on a real bike. We'll also tackle the hydraulic brake spare parts bin together: dumping, sorting, cleaning, and getting everything back to ready-to-use condition.
