New Hours

The SSMU building now closes at 8pm, so the Flat will be closing at 7.30.  Our goal is to continue to be open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, however, our schedule is dependent on volunteers.  We will post any closures here.

Unfortunately, the building will be closing at 6pm during July and August, so the Flat will not be able to operate our regular evening shifts.  We will be trying out day shifts (2-6pm) in July.

Volunteer!

Know a little about bikes?  Know a lot?  Don’t know a thing?  We need volunteers of all sorts, so consider volunteering!  You can Email us! If you are hesitant, come visit us at the shop and introduce yourself.

Wednesdays at the Flat

Wednesdays we host a variety of events at the Flat.

Collective Meeting: 6 June, 2012

The first Wednesday of the month is our Collective Meeting. Everyone is welcome to participate.  Meetings start at 5.30 at the Flat.

Women, Trans, and Queer Night: 13 June, 2012

The second Wednesday of the month is our WTQ Night.  We are open for women, trans and queer folk to work on their bikes.  We are also looking for volunteers to help out!

Tasquerade: 20 June, 2012

The third Wednesday of the month is our Tasquerade.  We spend a few hours tidying the shop, organising donations, general maintenance of the space as well as great music and pizza.  Never volunteered with the Flat?  It is a great way to get to know both the space and the other volunteers.

Workshops: 27 June, 2012

The fourth Wednesday of the month we reserve for workshops.

The workshop is still TBA for June–stayposted!

In the works

What we do

The Flat strives to be a welcoming, non-hierarchical, anti-oppressive space open to anyone wanting to work on their bike. We do not fix bikes, we teach people how to fix their own bike. We also offer workshops on specific aspects of bike mechanics.

The space is free for anyone to use, and everyone is welcome to use the space, attend workshops, volunteer during shifts, and come to collective meetings. You don't have to know anything about bike mechanics, you only have to be interested in learning and eager to teach people.

What We Carry….

New and used parts, brake and gear cable and housing, brake pads, tires, tubes, frames, helmets, patch kits, lights, bells, calendars...
