Are you interested in volunteering? It does not matter if you have no prior experience working with bikes, the whole idea is to learn and eventually pass on your new-found skills to others!

Please fill out the induction form to register your interest and to get an invitation to the next induction. 

Inductions are held every 2-3 months and have a limited capacity. If we have a large waiting list, you may need to wait for a future induction before beginning to volunteer.

For more information, you can read The Bike Shed Handbook and/or visit The Bike Shed to speak to the volunteers.

Information on volunteering

The Bike Shed accepts volunteers of all skill levels, from complete beginners to mechanical pros. The idea is to learn from each other about bikes in a low-stress, friendly environment – all whilst saving them from landfill and fixing them for those in need!

Once a month, we run a ‘Bikes For All Day’. This day is for all women, gender diverse, queer, disabled, POC, First Nations & other folks who have historically been excluded from bike fixing & bicycle-related spaces.

Volunteer days are generally on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays between 10.00am and 4pm. We also run public fix-your-own-bike workshops on Thursdays and are always looking for helpers on these days.

If fixing bikes isn’t your thing, there are plenty of other ways to get involved such as helping with sales on Saturdays, community outreach, volunteer coordination, or even just helping to keep the shed organised!

Lunches are provided by us. This is partly a way to say thank you for all your hard work, but also so we can all get to know each other a bit better and strengthen our amazing community!

Please note: The Bike Shed is currently unable to work with people under the age of 18.
