While 2020 may not have been perfect, it has helped Bike Root innovate and grow in ways previously unimaginable, and we look forward to continuing to grow the cycling community in Calgary! #yearinreview #bikeroot #cycling #yyc #yycsustainability #yycbike #uofc #ucalgary #suclubs

Welcome to a new semester! If you are new to Bike Root, we can help you fix your bike or sell a refurbished bike that was previously donated to us. If you would like to visit us in person, please schedule an appointment at bikeroot.ca. Finish the academic year strong!

Spend Reading Week with us, and help us fix all of these donated bikes. A friendly volunteer will be on hand at all times to help guide the repair process. Stay tuned for sign-up details as the date draws near. #yyc #bikeroot #yycsustainability #suclubs #ucalgary #uofc

Give winter cycling a try! Not convinced? SIGN UP for the 2021 Winter Cycling Congress taking place online February 11 & 12 at wintercycling.org/register for only €5 as a student. Not only is cycling in the winter possible, but it's fun and even warm.

ONE WEEK WARNING: Only one week remaining to get $10 off the marked price of a refurbished bike. Nearly 30 bikes ready to go right now…plenty to choose from. Head over to bikeroot.ca to schedule an appointment to buy a bike.

Join Bike Root’s club on Strava at strava.com/clubs/bikeroot. Strava is the most popular tool to record your rides, and many city governments (including Calgary) use the data gathered through Strava to improve their cycling networks and help fill in the missing links.

You know what freedom is for me? Not caring what the price of gas currently is.

Bike Root is on the map, the 2021 Calgary Pathways and Bikeways map to be precise (the newest printed version). The city was kind enough to mail us hundreds of these to distribute freely. Stop by the shop and pick up one or twelve!

We want you to join the volunteering team at Bike Root! Also: help us pay our bills during the slower months and beat others to the spring rush of components. - mailchi.mp/6a6ac0ef757e/n…

Attention: we saw this bike improperly locked outside the shop and brought it inside for a warm and safe place to rest for the evening. Please reach out to us to get it back, providing specific details like the bike brand, serial number, groupset on it, receipt of purchase or key

Life is full of signs, both literally and figuratively. Two years ago, one sign changed Sean Tuff’s life. He came across a sign for TheBikeRoot community bike shop on the University of Calgary campus and it piqued his curiosity enough to check it out. calgarycitizen.com/article/calgar… #YYC
