Bikechain A Do-It-Yourself bike shop serving U of T and the public. We offer repair support, free bike rentals for students, workshops, group rides, and more!

Bikechain is a do-it-yourself bike shop located on the University of Toronto's St. George campus. We teach you how to fix your own bike, no prior experience or skills needed! Use of the space is free for UofT students, and pay-what-you-can for everybody else. We offer free bicycle lending for UofT students, and do various workshops and events. We are a not-for-profit organization, so we love our volunteers, and always accept donations of parts and bicycles!

Did you know that Bikechain also repairs mobility devices?

We discovered that many common issues on wheelchairs, rollators, and other mobility devices can be repaired using bike tools.

Mobility device users often face exorbitant prices, egregious wait times, and bureaucratic nightmares when their device only needs a simple fix.

Bikechain offers pay-what-you-can repairs on a do-it-together basis. We work alongside you to identify the issue, and a bike mechanic completes the repair for you on the spot. (Or, you complete the repair yourself with the mechanic's guidance!)

Shoutout to our friend Yagiz Firat Boran for stopping by for a repair before his race!

Bikechain will be closed on Wednesday September 30 for the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation (also known as Orange Shirt Day).

Truth & Reconciliation Day is a day of mourning and action, recognizing Canada's genocide of Indigenous peoples through "Indian" residential schools and day schools.

For more information and ideas of how to honour this day, see the link in our bio.
