The Recyclery is a community bike repair workshop. We aim to give you the skills to maintain and repair your own bicycle.
We have an extensive workshop with all of the tools you’ll need to work on your bike, plus stands to work at and a wide range of replacement parts (second-hand and new).
Bike Kitchen – Thursdays 5pm-8pm. An expert mechanic and volunteer/s will be on hand to help you. Bike Kitchen is a free, drop-in resource. No need to book.
Repair Session – Tuesday & Wednesday 12pm-4pm. For those that need a little more help, this is a one on one repair session with an experienced mechanic or volunteer. A half hour session is $40 and a full hour is $60. Bookings are essential.

Come in and use this great community resource to build your confidence in repairing your own bike, and gain the freedom to travel fossil fuel free without anxiety.

We have a fabulous team of volunteers at The Recyclery which the community are warmly invited to join us, no experience necessary!
If you love bikes and would like to help out, we are always looking for volunteers. It's a great way to learn more about how bikes work and how to fix them while meeting people and contributing to Canberra’s cycling community.
Volunteering with The Recyclery is also a great way to earn credit towards your own bike projects and repairs. We offer discounted prices on new components, discounted second-hand components and free use of the tools and workshop.
Fill in the application below or speak to one of team during business hours or chat with one of our volunteers at our monthly bike sales. We’d love to hear from you! Sign up to volunteer here.

Donating your old bike to The Recyclery gives someone else in the Canberra community the chance to buy a second-hand bike at a reasonable price. It also helps keep valuable resources out of landfill and in the local circular economy.
If you have a bike in reasonable condition that’s no longer being ridden and would love to see it go to a new home, drop it in and we’ll nurture it back to good health and pass it along to someone who needs it. The Recyclery is where pre-loved bikes get a second chance at life!
Donations can be made during any of our opening hours. Please do not dump bikes and parts when The Recycery is closed.
