Urban AdvenTours is a locally owned small business located in Boston’s North End, offering bicycle tours and rentals as well as a full-service sales and repair shop.

Bike Mechanics at Urban AdvenTours work in a fast-paced environment on a wide range of projects and tasks, including customer repair bikes, maintaining our extensive rental fleet, and unboxing, building, boxing and shipping bikes for charity and other bicycling events. As a downtown commuter shop, we see all kinds of bikes come through the shop, from cheaper utility hybrid bikes to high-end titanium road bikes with S&S couplers.

We are looking to hire qualified candidates to assist with bicycle repairs and sales. All mechanics will work directly with our Service Manager and will work on-site as well as work at off-site events on occasion. The workload will be split between repairing customer bicycles, repairing rental bicycles, and sales in our bike shop.
