Bike Again

to get more people on bikes (less traffic!), provide a place for people to bring bikes they no longer use, and to act as a resource for the cycling community in Halifax Regional Municipality. The project encourages a sense of ownership and responsibility by engaging bike recipients in learning to fix and maintain their chosen rides. Many people become dedicated volunteers. We provide a common ground for people of different ethnic backgrounds and socio-economic status to participate in something fun and rewarding. Community Project is a volunteer run organization and relies on small funding grants and donations from the community. Donations can be in the form of bikes and bike parts, tools and supplies, food, and yes we do accept monetary donations which we will provide a receipt for income tax purposes when asked. So, instead of selling your bike to a used bike store or putting it curbside, where it will eventually end up in a landfill, why don't you donate the bike to a local, community based organization trying to make a difference. We have had over 10,000 volunteer hours donated to help us repair bikes and to help others learn how to repair their own. We strongly encourage people who use our services to volunteer to help others. Shifting Gears:

Shifting Gears (formerly The Women and Trans* bike repair collective) seeks to create a space that is positive and a non-intimidating to learn about and work on your bike. It is a space to explore bike mechanics and learn from other members, as well as a space to access tools and supplies to fix your bike. We aim to 'shift gears' from a cis male dominated cycling and repair culture. All femme, trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming folks welcome. at 5664 Charles St

Two Sundays per month starting June 13, 2021, 1-5pm. Check our posts for which dates. We are always looking for new volunteers, no bike mechanic skills necessary (the more volunteers, the more we can increase our open hours!)
We are also always looking for folk interested in sharing their bike repair skills. Get in touch via this page or stop by and say hello!
