★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I learned so much from BikeWorks. The volunteers were generous with their time and respected my abilities (both where they are where I'd like them to be). I bought a refurbished bike from them (one of the best deals in town) and showed up regularly for maintenance, repairs, and workshops. They are a co-operative space, not a service-providing business, and I love this. More community and self-autonomy is generated out of BikeWorks than any other bike shop in Edmonton. In particular, they take a strong (and much needed!) stance to provide space and time for women and trans folks, which is rarely the case in the trade.
They not only help cyclists get on the road, they provide important political advocacy for rules and infrastructures to keep us safe while we're there.
I've since moved from Edmonton and I haven't been able to find anywhere quite like BikeWorks. I miss you!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I received an older bike that needed a bit of work. I decided to give BikeWorks a try since it is local, non-profit, and VOLUNTEER RUN, instead of buying a new one. All the staff were very helpful and I ended up finishing in the three hours they were open. Really cool place and the other customers were also friendly. Will definitely return for future bike repairs.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a community treasure! As a bike noob, this is a great place to come and learn from experienced & friendly volunteers. I really appreciate the ability to have a hands on experience & learn how to make repairs & maintain my bike with the guidance of their friendly staff.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not a traditional Bike Shop - you learn to fix your own bike with help from volunteers. There are three great things about this (1) you learn how to fix your own bike (2) it is very inexpensive vs having a bike shop do it for you (3) you don't have to wait days/weeks to get your bike back. I've learned to fix all kinds of things on my bikes, even how to build a bike up right from a frame! They have all the tools to do anything I could imagine on a bike, and great knowledgeable volunteers. Every time I go to do something on my bike, I'm shocked how inexpensive it is and put an extra $20 in the donation bin.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome place to fix your bike and learn along the way!
So basically I know absolutely nothing about bikes or bike maintenance. I can pump up my tires and have changed the tubes once or twice. The service from all the helpers was awesome. I'm sure it was frustrating trying to watch me do anything but they were all very patient and incredibly helpful. I think about six different people helped me out which was awesome.
I love this place and can't wait to go back to do more to my bike!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Just moved to the neighbourhood and was walking by and decided to pop in to ask a question about fixing my bike. Bad attitude and really bad vibes from the woman there from the jump. I was very nice and respectful wearing a mask (literally just asking a question) and asked if I had an appointment and asked to step out of the store to talk. I spoke to a couple of bike shops afterwords in the area they said reiterated that this place is known for this kind of behaviour. Weird encounter.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ They love bikes, they keep old ones moving and out of the landfill, and they want to get you into the right fit! I love my folding bike!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The volunteer, who is the manager for this location, was very friendly and helpful. She talked me through everything she did with my bike so that I could learn a bit, and stay engaged with what was going on. Even though she worked on my bike for the full half hour and had to close for the night afterwards, she had me go for a small test ride to make sure that everything was fixed. I'll definitely get a membership and go back next time my bike needs work, and I highly recommend Bike Edmonton to anyone who has a bike.
