Our Community Bikes is a radical and inclusive non-profit bike shop in East Vancouver, offering amazing and very reasonable service. It is a full-service shop with an instructional space, and it sells new and used parts as well as affordable used bicycles. The store is known for its super helpful and friendly staff who provide outstanding and personal experiences. They empower people with tools and knowledge through various programs, including Do-It-Yourself bicycle repair stand and tool rental on Tuesday and Saturday evenings. They also host dedicated Women/Trans/Queer Nights, a Youth Bike Club, and Deaf Access evenings. The shop is commended for supporting the local cycling community and helping some of the neediest people in the city. Customers highly recommend it for finding specific, small parts for a fraction of the price of other shops, thanks to its organized buckets of almost all the bike parts you can imagine. While the store is a cool concept, it is relatively small, so having at least a passing knowledge of bike repair is helpful when visiting. Overall, it is a truly community-driven place where you will be in good hands for any bike parts or help.
