Due to several instances over the years of shop policies being violated by unsupervised people under the age of 18, Free Ride enforces a strict Youth Access policy for ALL users.
If you are 17 or younger, you need to be with a guardian 21 or older to enter Free Ride. Your guardian must remain with you at all times while using the shop. Guardians will be held responsible for the behavior of the youth they accompany.
If you are 18-21, you need an ID with your age on it to be allowed adult access to Free Ride.
Youth under the age of 18 must also do the following:
If it’s your first time in the shop, you must have a permission slip completed by your parent or guardian. When you turn in the signed permission slip, a staffer will have a brief conversation with the guardian (either on the phone or in person, no voicemail allowed) before permitting you access to the shop.
If you want to earn a bike or parts from Free Ride, you must first log 3 hours in your member log. Your youth membership log will be stored with your permission slip in the Youth Membership binder.
Be aware that staffers may make note of your behavior on your log. Respectful behavior earns you more privileges at Free Ride!
