YOUR ONE STOP SHOP IN VICTORIA BC.
Recyclistas is a full-service bike shop, recycling depot and educational work space. We have a great selection of new and used parts and accessories and used bikes for sale.
​
The bike shop is the hub of Greater Victoria’s grassroots cycling community. We empower community members through bicycle maintenance and repair classes during winter months and we also divert landfill waste by accepting used bikes and parts as donations.
OUR MISSION:
-
Encourage more people to ride bicycles by building and selling affordable, high quality bikes
-
Teach people how to fix their own bikes by holding regular bike repair classes where they are provided space, materials, and tools for education
-
Divert waste from the landfill by accepting used bicycles and parts as donations and re-building and selling reconditioned bikes
-
Create community for cycling enthusiasts by planning and hosting workshops, special events and community celebrations and by maintaining a location where people can come together to share ideas, inspiration and learn from one another.

BIKE REPAIRS
Recyclistas offers fast, affordable bike repairs—from quick fixes like flat tires to full tune-ups and wheel builds. No appointment is needed; just bring your bike in. Minor repairs may be done on the spot, but tune-ups may take a few days. Repairs are done in the order received, so wait times can vary, especially in summer.
​
​
* We do not service electronic parts on e-bikes. If you are looking for a great e-bike mechanic, we recommend E-Cycle Victoria.
To contact them, call 250-812-4377 or visit their website: www.e-cyclevictoria.ca.
​
NOTICE
After work has been completed on your bike, we will store it for two weeks free of charge. After this period, we charge the owner $1 per day for up to 2 months, after which the bike may be considered abandoned. We are a small shop and really need the space!
About Us
Recyclistas History
Recyclistas was founded in 2003 as part of a growing community bicycle movement inspired by Bikes Not Bombs, an organization promoting sustainable transport and local bike education in developing countries. Seeing similar needs in North America, early bike collectives aimed to create social change through skill-building and access to bikes, especially for low-income communities.
