OTC is a low cost, volunteer-operated non-profit 501(c)(3) bicycle collective open to the Anchorage community. OTC strives to increase bicycle ridership, awareness, and safety through community service and education.

Shop Use
Off the Chain is open to the public during shop hours. During
open shop hours you have access to our tools, library and advice
from our volunteer mechanics. We have an inventory of refurbished
bicycles, used parts and basic new parts available.

Shop Rate
Off the Chain has a suggested hourly shop rate of $5/hr. This rate
is to be paid by everyone using the shop and is used to pay rent,
insurance and other expenses.

Parts
Prices are listed at the shop and are on a “pay what you can” basis.
The Shift Manager has the final say on all prices.

Donations
We accept bike and parts donations during open shop hours. Please see our homepage for items we are currently accepting. Financial donations are also appreciated.
