A Do-It-Yourself bike shop serving U of T and the public. We offer repair support, free bike rentals for students, workshops, group rides, and more!
Bikechain is a do-it-yourself bike shop located on the University of Toronto's St. George campus. We teach you how to fix your own bike, no prior experience or skills needed! Use of the space is free for UofT students, and pay-what-you-can for everybody else. We offer free bicycle lending for UofT students, and do various workshops and events. We are a not-for-profit organization, so we love our volunteers, and always accept donations of parts and bicycles!

We had a blast leading the Kids Bike Rodeo at University Family Housing at U of T on Monday! 15 children joined us to learn about staying safe and having fun on your bike.
