Different Spokes Brampton Bike Hub

Different Spokes is a member-based cycling education and support organization. At Different Spokes - Brampton and Caledon's Bike Hubs, volunteer mechanics and staff help everyone rebuild their bikes, grease bearings, dispel winter cycling myths, and introduce them to cargo trailers and other bike attachments. Community members are invited out on rides to meet other "bike-minded" neighbours and increase their confidence using the roads and trails. No bike? No problem! The hubs take donated bikes that volunteers fix up for the Bike Library. According to Sonia, cycling is a tool to build equity, competence, health, and most importantly: community.
