Park Tool is pleased to announce the winners of their 2026 Community Tool Grants! Over the past eleven years, Park Tool has donated over $150,000 worth of tools to over 100 different organizations throughout the world. Read about the ten we chose this year:

It’s Calvin’s final day in the office before retirement and what is he doing? Making a video, of course.

Highly recommend Adam Savage’s latest video! He spent years using a bike as his primary transit in NYC and understands the freedom it brings. Nice to see a prominent voice validating that we don't need 4,000lb boxes just to navigate a city.

The TS-2 turns 50 this year! I teased it on the other social platforms, but Bluesky gets an exclusive: we will *definitely* be doing *something* fun to commemorate the golden anniversary of the TS-2. Stay tuned...

Some bittersweet news: after 28 years, our Director of Education Calvin Jones has announced his retirement at the end of February. More info on our website:

Professional mechanics: happy PRS-33.2 Annual Maintenance Day! If there’s a PRS-33.2 or PRS-33 in your shop, January is a good time to take 30 minutes and walk through our yearly maintenance procedures, ensuring your stand is in tip-top shape during busier times.

Here's a Bluesky exclusive heads-up: We'll be opening applications for the 10th(!) annual Park Tool Community Tool Grant next week. If that sounds interesting to you, you can learn more, and read about past recipients, on our website: www.parktool.com/en-us/form/c...

We've always been open to new platforms and ways of engaging mechanics and riders to help them fix their bikes. See this #throwbackthursday example for proof: the Park Tool website way back in 2000, touting the bona fides of our education director Calvin Jones.

Seems like there are a healthy amount of people here from the cycling advocacy and pro cycling world — what about #bikeindustry folks? Any mechanics, shops, etc.? And surely there are other brands that have made the jump to Bluesky? 😅
