HOW IT WORKS
Fix Your Bike
Bring your bike in anytime we’re open. Lift it onto one of our repair stands, and use our tools to fix it. Our staff and volunteers will be there to help you!
(Please note, we are not able to service e-bikes at this time.)
$20/hour; $10/hour for members. Sustaining members do not need to pay for stand time. All members also receive 15% off new parts and accessories.
Finances tight? Don’t worry, you can pay-what-you-can, just ask.
Buy Bikes, Parts and Accessories
We have a growing selection of used bikes that have been tuned-up and safety-checked, and are ready to ride! Most adult bikes cost from $100–$300, kid’s bikes are generally $20–$150.
We have new parts and accessories for sale, and members get 15% off.
We sell used parts at flexible pricing. Our staff or volunteers will give you a price if parts are not labelled.
Attend Workshops and Events
Volunteer Night: anyone interested in building their mechanic skills, or in helping others to learn how to repair bikes, could benefit from this weekly event. Every Tuesday from 7-9 p.m., dedicated volunteer mechanics are paired up with trainees to help fix donated bikes that will be sold in the shop. Please don’t bring your own bike to be repaired during Volunteer Night. Email lgd@londoncyclelink.ca to inquire about attending.
WTF Repair Workshop: for Women, Trans, Femme, non-binary and queer folks, we hold workshops the last Sunday of the month, from 3-5 p.m. Bring your own bike, and our skilled WTF mechnanics will help you fix it. Or just watch and learn from others. Pre-register at info@londoncyclelink.ca or find WTF on Facebook.
Workshops: we also offer a variety of workshops on differnt aspects of cycling.
Some past workshops are also available online, as are some past programs: Bikes for Newcomers and Free Rides.
