Bridge City Bicycle Co-op

Founded in 2012 by a crew of cyclists and bicycle repair enthusiasts, the Bridge City Bicycle Co-op (BCBC) is a volunteer-run, non-profit cooperative that offers a drop-in workspace, tool and supplies, and participatory bicycle maintenance education; where youth and adults can come and learn how to fix their own bicycles or build a bicycle using donated frames and parts. The BCBC is open and accessible to all. Membership is open to all individuals for free. BCBC envisions everyone having access to a bicycle. We will foster a sustainable cycling culture where everyone will feel connected to their bicycle by integrating cycling into their daily lives, while attaining the knowledge and opportunity to sustain its use. We hope to help build a strong, healthy, and environmentally sound community. We offer affordable, pay-what-you-can bikes that we teach you how to repair. If you already have a bike that needs repairs, we have volunteers that can teach you the repairs needed. We offer used parts for paywhat-you-can. We also have an online store where we sell ready-to-go bicycles at a fixed price for fundraising purposes. Located at 905 20th St W between the CNYC and the Ukraine Church. Our Open Shop Hours are every Tuesday from 6:30pm8:30pm and Saturday from 11am - 3pm. Our Women and Queer Open Shop Hours are every second and fourth Monday of the month from 6:30pm-8:30pm. We have a wide range of volunteers, from retired people to university students, and everyone in-between. Our members are people from all socioeconomic backgrounds. We are always looking for people to join our volunteer team. We offer hands-on training prior to volunteering so you are comfortable and knowledgeable on basic bicycle mechanics before your first shift.
