Bike Pirates is a unique non-profit organization in Toronto dedicated to promoting cycling as a sustainable and affordable means of transportation. The shop is more than just a typical bicycle repair shop – it is a community hub where cyclists of all skill levels can come together to learn, share knowledge, and work on their bikes.
The shop offers a range of services, including DIY repairs, minor repair services, and the sale of new and used parts and bicycles. Bike Pirates also hosts events, repair classes, and workshops to help educate the community about bicycle maintenance and safety.
One of the key aspects of Bike Pirates is its commitment to inclusivity and diversity. The shop offers DIY for Women, Trans, & Non-binary sessions to create a safe and welcoming space for individuals who may feel marginalized in traditional bike shops.
In addition to providing a valuable service to the cycling community, Bike Pirates also serves as a donations centre where individuals can donate bikes, parts, or money to support the shop's mission. The shop relies on the support of volunteers to keep operations running smoothly and welcomes anyone interested in lending a hand.
