The Bike Lab Society acts as a catalyst to bring skilled mechanics, artist, youth and volunteers together to promote the undeniable benefits bicycles have on our community and environment. The Bike Lab Society is a non-profit organization that combines the passion for community-based skill building, artwork made out of unusable bicycle parts and grassroots community development. Through various workshops and programs, the Bike Lab aims to advocate the use of bicycles as a positive and sustainable lifestyle choice, a way to bring community together of all ages and to make the excitement of riding and fixing bikes accessible to everyone.

The Bike Lab Society promotes bicycles as a mode of sustainable transportation, a source of art materials, and a catalyst for self-empowerment by:

1. Providing tools, space, and instruction to members of the general public so that they may repair their own bicycles;
2. 
   
3. Promoting the use of bicycles as a positive lifestyle choice;
4. 
   
5. Promoting the use of recycled bicycle parts in functional art pieces;
   
6. 
   
7. Conducting outreach to under-served sectors of the community, and actively recruiting these to participate in the Society's programs.
