Kickstand
East Vancouver’s volunteer-run community bike shop
LOCATED AT 1187 Parker street, near clark and venables
At Kickstand, we promote the bicycle as a tool for education, empowerment, neighborhood cohesion, environmental protection, and active transportation.
Kickstand is a volunteer-run cycling and recycling resource center, located in East Vancouver. A non-profit society, we provide a low-barrier and affordable workspace to anyone interested in repairing or working on their bike. You can learn bike mechanics here too! Kickstand volunteers, guide individuals to repair, dismantle and refurbish bikes on their own.
