2. Include a referral letter with your application

Ask for a referral letter confirming you face financial barriers from a social service agency, a health and recovery service, or a community organization.

3. Submit your application

Submit it as a paper copy to Our Community Bikes or email to pedalsforthepeople@ourcommunitybikes.org.

Once your application is processed and approved, you will be placed on a waitlist to receive the next available bike that fits your specifications.

We do our best to provide applicants with a bike that matches their style preferences, but are unable provide BMX bikes, adult trikes, full suspension bikes, and folding bikes.

4. Pick up your bicycle
   

Once you receive notice, your bike can be picked up within two (2) weeks. Because we have very limited storage space, bikes that are not claimed within the two-week period will be assigned to the next person on our list.

Looking for a kids bike?
Our program primarily provides adult bikes. While we do take applications for kids and youth bikes, our access to kids and youth bikes is limited and the wait time is often longer. We recommend also reaching out to the following organizations:

• UBC Bike Kitchen, Kids Bike Library - kidsbikes@bikecoop.ca - 604-822-2453
• Rec for Kids Society - admin@recforkids.com - 604-598-0322
