BIKE PIRATES IS a volunteer-run organization that provides a Do-It-Yourself workspace where you can:
We also sell new and used parts, and even fully refurbished used bicycles.
30 January, 2012 – 12:00 – 13:30
Coldest Day of the Year Ride, a comfortable, car-free, group ride to celebrate and promote winter cycling. Cyclists will ride down University Avenue from City Hall to Front Street, with free hot chocolate provided at the end courtesy of the Fairmont Royal York to warm up riders!
This month, our Third Friday event will be a screen-printing extravaganza!
When: Friday the 19th at 6pm
Where: Bike Pirates
Bring your own T-shirts (or any material) that you wish to print on. We will provide the ink, silk screens, and a number of bicycle designs for you. See you there!
This new workshop-format event will take place every Third Wednesday of the month, from 6pm to 9pm.
Our Mission for this event is: To provide a safe inclusive space for those with a common interest in cycling, and to share skills through workshops and events.
Our Vision for this event is: To promote cycling among the LGBTQ community and to promote a sense of community among cyclists.
The first workshop will be on January 18, from 6pm to 9pm. This workshop will be on Preparing for winter: Taking care of your bike, and YOU the cyclist, during harsh winter conditions. Please join us!
Please note that during this time, the space will be closed to ordinary DIY participants.
Thank you to all the cyclists out there who donated their time and energy making their bikes better in our bike workspace. It’s been a really good season for all volunteers and participants.
Like every bicycle, Bike Pirates needs an overhaul from the busy season. From December 31st to January 8th Bike Pirates will be closed for renovations. In order to make a better space possible, volunteers will be on-site all through the week,
but we won’t be open due to massive tuneup of bike pirates.
To help and get involved with the renovations, please email us.
My whole heart goes out to the family of the female cyclist killed at Dundas & Sterling today. Advocacy for Respect for Cyclists will hold a memorial for her next Monday.
7:30am @ Spidina and Bloor.
