About BikeWorks

BikeWorks is a fully-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.

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. Complete bicycles range from about $50-100 on average.

We offer regular bike maintenance courses during the summer, 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)

Parking at BikeWorks

In order to be a good neighbour and comply with City Bylaw 5590, we are asking that visitors to BikeWorks no longer park in or along the alley.  If you are loading or unloading bikes, passengers, etc. you may briefly park outside our gate.  Otherwise, ample parking is available nearby along both 101 Street and 79 Avenue.

We welcome all stripes of bike-loving people, whether mechanically inclined or not, to help out in all aspects of EBC (events, advocacy, committee work, or at the shop).

If you’re interested in volunteering at BikeWorks, just send an email to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address); if you’d like to volunteer with EBC in a capacity other than BikeWorks (events, advocacy, etc.) please email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and someone will get back to you ASAP.

Women/Transgendered Shop Days
In an effort to make our space more inviting and inclusive, the first, third and fifth Sundays of each month are reserved exclusively for women and transgendered persons, and the shop is operated only by women and transgendered persons on those days.  If you do not identify as a woman or transgendered person, please visit us any other time we are open as you will not be allowed in the shop or yard on this day.


Everyone is always welcome during all other shop hours.

The Kickstand Circus - Cruiser Nite

The Kickstand Circus is a group of people who understand that only a cruiser is truly made for cruising, that sometimes style is more important than speed, and that no amount of “aftermarket cool” will turn your fixie into a cruiser.  You can only ride a cruiser bike on a cruiser nite. If this makes sense, you’re part of the Kickstand Circus.
