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

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

We strive

• To make cycling and repair knowledge accessible to everyone
• 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 exercise, of community, and on and on.
