- BIKE DUMP –

a community-use bicycle repair shop in Winnipeg, MB

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 repairs, or with a (your) bike-building project
• Re-furbished, recycled bicycles for sale on a sliding scale
• Monthly bicycle repair workshops
• hot coffee (usually, though not necessarily)

- ABOUT the BIKE DUMP -

We strive:

• To make cycling – and bicycle 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.:  petromegadollars to corrupt psychocracies, rapid depletion of the resource the economy runs on, urban sprawl, lack of exercise, lack of community, crappy t.v. commercials, and so on.

We appreciate:

• Donations of old bikes, bike parts, tools, and cash, to help us do more
• Volunteers
• snacks
