Recycle Cycles is volunteer run, community based non profit bike co-op. We take donated bikes, refurbish them, and make them available at a very low cost so anyone can get an eco-friendly/alternative use of transport. The bike co-op is also a space where you can come fix your own bike by using the shops many tools and draw on our volunteer's "expertise" (sorry, but we don't fix your bike for you). Recycle Cycles is also a social place were all can come to chat about our life happenings in hamilton. The cost of the bikes provides income for recycle cycles to cover rent, insurence and with new tools. We have experienced voulunteers who would love to see you get that old bike up and running again.

Recycle cycles wants to be a catalyst for change to a more bike friendly city, a positive place where people feel welcomed and a hub (pun intended!) for many bike related events in hamilton. This blog will keep people informed on the latest happenings at Recycle cycle and spead bike advacy throughout the city. Please feel free to stop by and check out the shop. We would also be very glad for any volunteers, and especialy woman volunteers to even out the vibe.
