who we are and what we do
The bike library is a tool collective and a bicycle lending program run completely by volunteers. Our workshop is a space equipped with a set of professional bicycle tools and stocked with used frames and parts. We maintain a set of bicycles available to members for short term loans.
how to get a bike
The bike library's goal is to get as many people as possible riding bicycles. We provide an alternative to buying new bicycles and paying for service at retail bike shops. If you don't have a bike, you should first become a member. Then you can adopt a bicycle or a frame from our stock. Our mechanics will teach you how to repair the bicycle or build it from the ground up.
what we are not
The bike library is not a regular bike shop. Our volunteers are happy to help you, and to teach you how to fix your own bike or an adopted bike. However we do not fix your bike for you. Currently we do not make sales to members or to the general public. Although we have in the past, at the moment we are not sufficiently stocked to provide complete bikes for sale.
