Community Bicycle Network
Under Construction! Please Visit Reserve Page. Page Will Be Available Shortly
The Community Bicycle Network is a non-profit cycling promotion organization in Toronto, Canada.
Mission
CBN works to stimulate, support and link together a wide range of community-based bicycle initiatives in the City of Toronto. CBN houses an array of activities from repair and skills workshops, bike promotion programs and bicycle recycling efforts, to urban revitalization activities. CBN serves as a community resource and offers an accessible, affordable place for community groups concerned with sustainable transportation and urban affairs to convene. CBN operates with the support of scores of regular volunteers and the generous contributions from individuals and organizations. CBN’s core mission is to make sustainable, community-friendly transportation accessible to all in the city of Toronto.
Services
Currently CBN has two programs: Wenches with Wrenches and ToolWorks. Unfortunately, due to lack of funding and political will, our very popular and internationally known Bikeshare program had to close down in 2007.
Wenches with Wrenches an ongoing program of CBN volunteers who host bicycle repair workshops run by and for women in downtown Toronto. The idea has been to make basic bicycle repair skills accessible to women in the hope that participants will then share their knowledge and their confidence with others in the community
Wenches with Wrenches brings women together in a safe, non-competitive and friendly learning environment. The workshops are run by women for women because, many times, women are just more comfortable learning from other women.
ToolWorks lets you use our equipment, tools and expertise to get you on intimate terms with your bicycle. ToolWorks is located at Intersection. ToolWorks is supervised by experienced volunteers. ToolWorks provides you with:
- repair time to tools and stands for $5 per hour
- access to mechanic advice and help at $10 per hour
Hours
CBN is in flux at this moment so you'd have to check the website to see updated hours.
Location
