The Bike Dump is a community bicycle shop in Winnipeg. We are all-volunteer, and offer

• Tools and space to fix your bike
• A stock of recycled bike frames and parts to build yourself a bike from
• Volunteers to help guide you through your repairs or project
• Recycled bicycles sold on a sliding scale
• Monthly bicycle repair workshops

We appreciate

• Donations of old bikes, bike parts, tools, or money
• Volunteer time, either helping others with bike questions, tearing apart and building up bikes for the space, help coordinating fund-raisers, working on the space, or whatever

We strive

• To make cycling and repair knowledge accessible far and wide
• To organize ourselves transparently, democratically, and non-hierarchically
• To offer creative alternatives to auto dependency and its consequences, i.e. Iraqi civilians killed by cluster bombs, rapid depletion of the resource the economy rests on, urban sprawl, lack of exericise, of community, and on and on.

Volunteering

If you are interested in volunteering, please come to a volunteer orientation. These are held at 6pm on the second Wednesday of every month. The orientation will acquaint you with how we operate and the roles and responsibilities of a Bike Dump volunteer.

Monthly Workshops

We also hold drop-in workshops on a variety of bike-related topics. These are usually held on the third Wednesday of every month at 6pm (changed from the former 7pm start time). Upcoming workshops:

Wednesday, January 20 - Hubs - Learn how to adjust and replace the ball-bearings in your wheels.

If you have an idea/request for a workshop, or if you would like facilitate a workshop (you don’t need to be a regular Bike Dump volunteer to do this), please contact Matt. Possible future workshop topics include: brakes, coaster hubs, shifters and derailleurs, internal 3-speed hubs, frame painting, cargo bikes, DIY bike trailers, safe urban riding skills, winter cycling, stems, handlebars and seat posts, cranks and chainrings, BMX bikes, generator lights . . . .  Let us know what you want to learn!

Location

We are at the back of the Red Road Lodge (formerly the New Occidental Hotel) at the corner of Logan and Main street. Come around through the back door. You’re best off looking at the map.
