Volunteer for EBC!

EBC always welcomes new ideas and initiatives from members, and there are ways you can get involved right away:

BikeWorks

We are always looking for people to help out during shop hours. Mechanical experience isn’t necessary, but if you know what you’re doing and can help people out with their bikes, that’s great! If you’re not a seasoned mechanic but want to learn we can help you.  BikeWorks also needs volunteers to welcome people to the shop, sell memberships, organize parts and generally keep the place running smoothly.

Why volunteer at BikeWorks?
Regular BikeWorks volunteers:

    -help build a stronger cycling community
    -learn the art of bicycle mechanics
    -receive discounts on bicycles and used parts
    -can buy new parts and accessories at near wholesale prices
    -can access BikeWorks anytime they like for free

If you’re interested in helping at BikeWorks email BikeWorks Coordinator Alex Hindle at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

EBC Magazine

If you have editing and/or writing skills that you’re dying to share with the cycling community in Edmonton, you can outlet your creativity through EBC’s magazine and other publications.

Summer Festivals

Summer is a busy time for EBC - from offering secure bicycle parking at many Edmonton summer festivals to co-sponsoring Bike Month in June - it’s the ideal time to get involved with EBC. If you like meeting new people, being outdoors and promoting cycling, we’d love your help this summer.

Advocacy

If you want more bike racks on buses, or want to increase awareness of bike theft issues, or meet with the City to talk about cycling infrastructure under the umbrella of the Edmonton Bicycle Commuters’ Society, then get in touch with us.

If you have any questions, ideas or you would like to volunteer, please call 780-433-2453 or .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

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.
