COVID-19 Update

Coronavirus (COVID-19) update March 23rd

Friends,

In light of the rapidly evolving situation and efforts by all levels of government to fight COVID-19, we have made the hard decision to close Bike Pirates for the time being.

The very features that define our bike shop; community, accessibility and openness unfortunately make it an ideal place for where infections can flourish. We take the health and safety of our volunteers and patrons seriously and feel we must do all we can to reduce the risk.

Bike Pirates will remain closed as we monitor this rapidly changing situation, and will follow all guidance from Toronto Public Health and instructions from all levels of government.

Updates will be posted on our social media platforms and website.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us at info@bikepirates.com

Sincerely,
Bike Pirates

Hey everyone,

Bike Pirates has been coming together quite nicely in the last couple days in preparation for the greatest winter event in Toronto.

I’m speaking of course of the annual Icycle race. That’s right, bikes racing around on ice.

In order to be fully prepared for the after party and to be sure that all Pirates can make it to the race, we will be closing this Saturday February 21st at 5pm!
