Empowering Edmontonians: Our Strategic Alliance with Bike Edmonton

Buying a bike is just the beginning of the journey. Knowing how to fix a flat, tune your gears, and ride with confidence is what turns a bike owner into a cyclist. That’s why we are so proud of our strategic alliance with Bike Edmonton.

Bike Edmonton is a non-profit organization that has been the heart of the city’s cycling culture since 1980. They operate a community bike workshop that provides access to tools and expertise, and act as a tireless advocate for better cycling infrastructure in Edmonton.

We provide the bikes; Bike Edmonton provides the skills. Many people who buy a bike at our Edmonton bike swap are looking for a reliable way to commute or explore. Bike Edmonton helps them keep those bikes on the road with:

• DIY Workshops: Providing a space where people can learn to maintain their own rides.
• Access to Parts: Offering affordable used parts to keep older bikes running smoothly (the ultimate circular economy!).
• Advocacy: Ensuring that those who use their bikes for commuting have safe, connected routes to get to work.

Bike Edmonton is widely respected for its inclusivity. They are good to other non-profits and community groups, often acting as a resource hub for anyone trying to make Edmonton a more livable city. They understand that a bike-friendly city is a people-friendly city.

We appreciate Bike Edmonton because they share our commitment to data-backed sustainability and community empowerment. As we track our impact through ISO 14064 carbon accounting, we know that the life of a bike is extended significantly because of the repair skills Bike Edmonton teaches. They are a vital part of the Circular Economy chain in Alberta.
