Note about e-bikes: we accept e-bikes as donations as long as the battery and keys are included.
Our operations rely on support from individuals and organizations, who help maintain and expand the services we offer. Donations ensure that we can continue to offer Access Nights, Youth Bike Club, Pedals for the People, mechanics courses and a range of other programs which make cycling more accessible, affordable and inclusive.
What does it cost us to deliver our services?
$432 - one refurbished bike for someone facing extreme, ongoing financial hardship
$280 - one refurbished children’s bike
$160 - year-round service subsidy for someone facing extreme, ongoing, financial hardship
$723 - one clinic in Oppenheimer Park
$800 - one access night for people underrepresented in the bike industry to gain experience working on their own bike in a supportive environment
Can YOU help?
We can accept donations through a range of channels, including Canada Helps, automated funds transfer, by cheque, e-transfer, or in our shop.
Our reach continues to grow!
Donations have allowed us to reach new communities and offer new and improved services. Last year alone, Pedals for the People provided 255 bicycles and over 1350 free repairs through our Oppenheimer clinic. Our DIY Access Nights also provided space for hundreds of participants and our Gear-up program hosted over 40 trainees.
