Santrovelo

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday
5:30 pm to 7:30 pm

Appointments are suggested, but drop-ins are always welcome! Additional open hours are posted on our Instagram and on our booking platform.

To book an appointment, please look at the booking tool. We generally have 8 spots per open day available. Please note that if none appear, the spaces have been booked.

We are open regularly on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings all year long from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. (In May and June we have additional spots on select Saturdays – see booking tool.) The per-visit fee starts at $11 and drops for subsequent visits, $7 for a short visit of 45 minutes or pay-what-you-can. No one is turned away for lack of funds.

This is not an exhaustive list, but keep mind that work needs to be completed in under two hours. Please note that some repairs may be limited due to lack of new/used parts.

Patrons of the workshop have the ability to buy new or used parts, use the tools, and recycle anything at the end of the session.

We currently are unable to accept bike or parts donations at the workshop.

Would you like to join the Santrovélo team as a volunteer and help our patrons fix their bikes? Send us a short presentation of yourself: your skillset, availability and things you would like to learn by email to santrovelo@santropolroulant.org and we will let you know when you can visit for an orientation. In the meantime, please consult our guide.
