Get Involved

There are any number of ways to get involved at EBC. We primarily serve folks who use their bicycle for practical transportation and leisure, but our calendar lists events of all kinds.

EBC Events Calendar

Get involved in your local bike community—there are events going all year round.  If you are an organizer of an event, please post the event to our calendar!  EBC does not necessarily endorse any of the events posted on our calendar. This listing is for informational purposes only.

Volunteer for EBC!

EBC is run and operated almost entirely by volunteers: the board of directors, the fine folks hauling bike trailers full of bike repair supplies to a community event, the individuals writing letter to their city councillor about more and better cycling infrastructure, and the mechanics at BikeWorks are all volunteers.

If you enjoy bikes and community-building, come volunteer for Edmonton’s only non-profit bicycle organization!

Join us for our next Volunteer Orientation or contact us at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
