Our Community Bikes, with the support of Metro Vancouver, delivers bike repair events in schools across the region to provide students, teachers and parents with hands-on repair and maintenance skills while encouraging cycling and promotiong waste reduction through bike reuse and recycling. 

What to host a bike event in your school? More information on coming soon - autumn/winter 2026.

Several bike repair events are available to schools

Bike Repair Cafe 

A Bike Repair Cafe is a pop-up repair station at your school. Students bring their bikes in for basic repairs, tune-ups, and to learn about bike maintenance and recycling. Students will gain knowledge of bike systems, tool use, and repair techniques. OCB provides two bike mechanics for a two-hour repair station, and will provide tools, stands, parts, and materials. All bicycles, e-bikes and scooters are welcome (repairs to electronics are not supported). 

Bike Repair Workshop

A Bike Repair Workshop covers the "ABCs" (air, brakes, chain) of a bike safety check, bike fit seat height assessment, and explains the systems of a bike (gears and brakes). Students bring bicycles to school and gain knowledge of basic safety maintenance, bike fit, and systems. OCB provides one mechanic for a 1.5 hour workshop, tools, stands, and materials for a one-hour workshop. All bicycles, e-bikes, and scooters are welcome.

Bike Swap 

A Bike Swap is an event for trading or swapping a bicycle for another bicycle. This event is ideal for students that have outgrown the size of their bike, and at schools that have already hosted a repair clinic and/or have a strong existing cycling culture at the school. OCB collaborates with the school to design a custom bike swap. OCB provides mechanics, tools, and swap structure.
