(please always check the News Blog on our main page for any closures)

April 1 to Sept. 30:

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday: 6pm - 9:30pm Open for sales, donations, volunteering, and DIY repair.

Sunday: 1pm - 5pm Open for sales and donations, but no beginner volunteers and DIY repair is not assisted.

Monday: Noon - 5pm Open for sales and donations, but no beginner volunteers and DIY repair is not assisted.

(Note that we will not be open on Saturdays this season. But as of April 7th our shop-mates Cycle Salvation will be open Saturdays from 10am - 4pm for bike & parts purchases and donations.)

Please note! Each evening shift at our shop is staffed by a volunteer "Head Mechanic" and at least one "Shop Assistant". We make every effort to be open during the posted times, but there are the odd occasions when the Head Mechanic is not able to run the shift for whatever reason, and could not find a replacement on short notice. We appreciate your understanding if this happens, and apologize for any inconvenience it may cause.

Location and directions:

473 Bronson Avenue (at Gladstone), Ottawa, Ontario

Directions during 2012 Bronson Avenue reconstruction:

We are the first building on the south-east corner of Bronson and Gladstone. Our entrance is at the end of the driveway on the south side of the building (the door on Bronson leads to our landlord's business).

By motor vehicle: parking is available on Gladstone or MacLeod. For donation drop-offs you can park temporarily in our driveway, but it is only currently accessible from Gladstone. You cannot leave your car for any length of time in our driveway, including if you have brought your bike in to work on. We have to keep the driveway clear for donations coming in.

For everyone: With MacLeod St.becoming a two-way street during this time we unfortunately had to close our rear lane-way (insurance issue for our landlord). But the sidewalk in front of our building will always remain accessible from both north and south so you can get to our door via our driveway.
