Friendly reminder Toronto! It’s time for our annual winter renovation again at Bike Pirates, heads up this is your last full week to visit before we temporarily shut down on FRIDAY JAN 26
.
Our space will be one big mess as we clean, paint, and re-organize to continue empowering Toronto cyclists. Needless to say, all our bike tools will be put away until we re-open MONDAY FEB 5.
.
Want to help out? We really appreciate extra hands doing reno and have plenty of non-bike specific tasks planned. Our shop has a full kitchen and we’ll happily cover daily grocery costs if anyone likes cooking vegan to keep everyone energized. Pirates will be at the shop guaranteed from 3pm-9pm daily during renovation so please just drop by!
.
Thursday Jan 25 is the last day of regular scheduled DIY hours until Monday Feb 5, tell a friend and please plan accordingly.

Closed Dec 24 + Jan 1

kidsbikewithlightsHappy Solstice! As the days begin to get longer and brighter and the weather gets weirder and colder, you can always count on your neighbourhood Bike Pirates to be around to help with any issues the Winter throws at your bicycle!

Please note we will be closed for the following two dates over the holiday season:

Sunday December 24th
and
Monday January 1st

Our renovation period will begin in late January 2018, so watch for those dates in the coming weeks. Happy Holidays!
