Our South Community Bike Workshop will be closing permanently at the end of the day on Sunday June 16th. The shop was consistently bustling, but the building changed hands last year and its new owners were unwilling to sign a new lease without a substantial rent increase. We hoped to relocate nearby, but a search found no suitable affordable spaces. This came during a challenging financial time for Bike Edmonton, and after much discussion and analysis, our Board of Directors concluded that we must consolidate operations out of our downtown shop.
Want a flexible, independent job doing something good for the world? Do you enjoy using your bike repair skills to return wheeled beauties to their rightful glory?

It has been a year of transition for Bike Edmonton, and we are so grateful for the support of all our members. Last winter you responded to our appeal, and raised more than $30,000 to help keep Bike Edmonton alive and well.
Now, we invite all members to our Annual General Meeting on Sunday, November 3rd, 1pm at the Strathcona Community League's upper hall (10139 87 Ave), where we will discuss the year that was, share our 2024-2025 budget for your consideration, and elect new Board members.
