Bike Co-op
ABOUT US
Mission
The University of Ottawa Bike Co-op is a creative space and community hub for all bicycle enthusiasts. Our goal is to foster healthy lifestyles, a sense of community and environmental sustainability while striving to provide an atmosphere that encourages cycling and sustainability. The Bike Co-op advocates for participation, action and empowerment through direct action, self education, and guided workshops; as well as offering accessible biking resources to make bicycle knowledge – repairs, safety practices, and political action– available to the University of Ottawa and the community.
We gladly accept donations of bicycles, tools and bicycle parts. Donations can be dropped off at the Bike Co-op at 200 Lees, and at the SFUO office in the University Centre (85 University Private), Room 07.
