Community Bicycle Network

CBN.jpg

CBN is Toronto's award-winning community bike space. Community Bicycle Network (CBN) is a registered non-profit organization founded in 1993 on the belief that bicycles are a powerful tool for positive change. CBN incorporated in 1997 and is governed by a volunteer board of directors.

We have a rich history of serving Toronto’s cycling community through award-winning programs that enable affordable, clean transportation and of improving all communities through recycling and waste-diversion.

We work to make cycling the most accessible form of transportation in Toronto, breaking down economic barriers while reducing smog and congestion.

re-Cycles

re-Cycles is a not-for-profit bicycle recycling shop based in Ottawa, Ontario (Canada). We:

  • repair donated bikes that we sell to the community.
  • provide an equipped shop (and bike repair know-how in the evenings) so that you can maintain and repair your own bike.

Unlike conventional bike shops we do not fix your bike for you! But if you want to do it yourself there's always staff on hand during our evening hours to guide you if needed. Please note that there is no assisted DIY repair at any time during the day.

BQAM

Inspiré de différentes initiatives, BQAM est le premier atelier de réparation et d’ajustement de vélo communautaire de l’UQAM. Non seulement un atelier, nous visons à consolider le déplacement à vélo vers le centre-ville de Montréal en sensibilisant, en éduquant et en offrant un espace de réparation accessible à la communauté uqamienne et à son milieu.

Cette initiative s’insère dans une vague continentale de l’« accessibilisation » à la mécanique des bicyclettes, auxquelles participent déjà plusieurs projets montréalais.

Right to Move / La Voie Libre

RTM.jpg

Right to Move is a non-profit organization that was started in the spring of 1997 by a group who believed bicycles are a form of transportation that should be available to all, regardless of gender, age, wealth or ethnicity. Bicycles are a viable urban transportation option, one far more economical and more ecological than cars in moving people to where they need to be.

In order to make bicycling a more accessible transportation option, we:

have a drop-in, do-it-yourself bicycle shop where members can fix their own bicycles with the help of volunteer mechanics hold hands-on workshops series on bicycle maintenance three times per year in English and French accept and collect bicycles destined for the landfill, fix them and donate them or sell them at low cost to those who would not otherwise be able to afford a bicycle RTM is a membership-based organisation. A mere $20 per year gives you access to our drop-in shop.
