Member benefits
BikeWorks discounts
If you are planning on visiting BikeWorks more than a couple times a year, it makes sense to buy a membership. EBC members pay just $2.00 for an hour of shop time, while non-members pay $5.00. EBC members also get reduced prices on mechanical workshops and on-road cycling courses. A spring tune-up and a couple of minor problems during the year will pay for the membership!
Bicycle advocacy
EBC works with city planners, bicycle-oriented groups and others to speak for commuting cyclists to ensure that cyclists can get around Edmonton quickly and safely. Our history of successful campaigns shows that we can win improvements for bike commuters when we act collectively. More members gives EBC, and commuting cyclists in the city, a greater voice when we are advocating for improvements in cycling infrastructure, services and safety.
Stay connected
EBC members receive regular email updates about upcoming mechanics courses at BikeWorks, cycling events in the city, volunteer opportunities with EBC, and important cycling issues in Edmonton. Becoming an EBC member means you stay connected with what’s going down in the world of two-wheeled travel.
Warm Fuzzies
Of all the benefits of membership, the most important is that it supports our activities, which is crucial to us as an all-volunteer, non-profit group. If you want EBC and BikeWorks to keep on doing what we’re doing, show your support by becoming a member. We guarantee it will give you a warm, fuzzy feeling.
