About Squeaky Wheel Bike Co-op

Squeaky Wheel Bike Co-op is a volunteer-supported, self-serve bicycle repair shop located in the Old East Village on Dundas Street. It serves the London community by providing a welcoming space for everyone, from complete beginners to experienced mechanics, to gain the skills and confidence needed to maintain their bicycles. The co-op offers a variety of services and products, including a self-serve repair area equipped with tools and repair stands. Customers can choose to pay a regular stand time rate or purchase a membership tier to receive benefits such as discounted or free stand time and direct assistance from staff or volunteers. The shop also sells a selection of used bikes that have been safety-checked, as well as new and used parts and accessories. Additionally, the business provides a Bike Valet service for public events, offering secure, monitored bicycle parking. Community programming includes recurring events such as Volunteer Night and the female-and-genderqueer-led WTF Bike Repair Workshop. The organization operates with a mission to help Londoners ride more by fostering a thriving cycling culture and advocating for safe streets. It emphasizes values of equity, empowerment, community, sustainability, and fun. The co-op is designed to be an inclusive environment where people can meet and engage with the local bike scene. While the shop provides various repair options, it notes that it does not service e-bikes, e-scooters, suspension fluids, or tubeless tire sealants.
