About BikeWorks

BikeWorks is a full-equipped, volunteer-run community bike workshop. We have all the tools (including specialty bicycle tools) needed to repair and maintain your bicycle, and mechanics to teach you how to do it.  We also have a vast selection of used and new parts and bicycles available for purchase.

You don’t know anything about bicycle repairs? No problem!  Qualified mechanics are on duty to assist you in any way you need, from finding a bike that’s right for you, or adjusting your seat, or fixing a flat, right up to building an entire bike from just parts.

Using the shop only costs $2/hour for members, including assistance from mechanics and access to all our tools, and most used parts are under $5. Complete bicycles range from about $50-100 on average.

We offer regular bike maintenance courses during the summer (free to members), but you can come in any time we’re open to learn about fixing bikes. You can also donate your used bicycles and parts to us, and we’ll repair, reuse, or recycle them, as appropriate.

BikeWorks is located at 10047 - 80 Avenue (access is through the back alley)
