A learning hub for building and repairing bikes, offering safe cycling education, providing access to affordable transportation, and fostering a rich and inclusive cycling community. New Hope Community Bikes started in 2008 as an initiative of New Hope Church. We are a registered charity and social enterprise that seeks to get more people on affordable, reliable bicycles and provide employment and job training opportunities for youth.
We believe bicycles can help build a healthier, more environmentally friendly community and that everyone should have access to affordable, efficient transportation. We build and restore bikes to a variety of price points and rider specifications, offering everything from cheap winter commuters to unique one of a kind custom bikes.

Tools and shop space are available whenever the shop is open on a first-come, first-served basis. This means if it's busy you may have to wait for someone to finish with a workspace before you can start your own DIY. New Hope Community Bikes offers structured, hands on repair nights that cover the basics of bike repair.

How To
Report
The internet has a wealth of knowledge on bike repair, there's lots of great videos, documents and other resources out there to help you complete your own repairs. Many bike problems can be easily addressed with some basic tools and knowledge. If you have some basic tools at home you may be able to save a trip to the shop, but if you're missing a tool, that's exactly what our DIY time is for.
Ride Smart

Our education programs are designed to develop practical life-long skills through safe cycling. Using the Ontario physical health and education curriculum, our program is engaging and interactive, equipping students with new skills and cycling abilities. Ride Smart skills create safer riders and safer future drivers.
The Spoke Jar
Report
Something new for 2021 is the Spoke Jar. It's a tangible reminder of the charitable core of New Hope Community Bikes. Spokes can be purchased for $5 at time of purchase or on our online store. Spokes can be used to pay-it-forward, allowing someone who needs help to keep rolling. Anyone who needs help paying can use up to 2 spokes to cover the cost of parts such as a used part, tube, shop labour or their DIY time.
