RBF Cycles also offers mobile service and can work on site or pick up and return bicycles; the mobile service fee will be based on the travel time / mileage required and the normal shop rates will apply for any work done on or off site.

Pogo is a carsharing service that gives members 24/7 access to a pool of vehicles located within a defined, central Zone in Edmonton. EBC members can use their member promo code POGOBIKES to sign up for a free Pogo membership (normally a one-time fee of $35; there are no annual fees) and 30 minutes of free driving time.
When parking a Pogo vehicle, you don't have to pay for parking at most metered parking spots, and some lots at the University of Alberta and MacEwan campuses. That's right: free parking at the U of A and free parking downtown. Check the Pogo website for full parking rules.
Use Pogo vehicles to commute, run errands, head out for a night with friends—you decide! You only pay for the exact amount of time you use the vehicle. Gas, insurance, and parking are all included, and one-way trips are allowed.
Pogo CarShare gives you access to convenient transportation, when and where you need it.
