VELOVE

Get universities cycling!

We are a diverse community of student volunteers united by our passion for bicycles. From casual commuters to sport cyclists to bike mechanics, everyone is welcome!

MISSION

We want to assist students in fixing their bikes to improve their commutes, sport rides, and generally make cycling more accessible. We welcome everyone at our workshop to learn about repairing, maintaining, and building bicycles. We also organize bike rides, Velobörsen, dinners, movie nights, and much more 😀

 

WHAT WE DO​

  • We offer a volunteer, student-run workshop with all the tools you need to fix your bike and affordable spare parts
  • Volunteers assess the state of your bike, show you the tools you need to fix it, and offer guidance while you’re fixing it
  • We organize two Velobörsen (bike flea markets) per year where you can find secondhand bikes at affordable prices
  • Rent out bike panniers and tandem bikes
  • Social rides, Fixing Fridays, and other bike-related events

WHY YOU SHOULD VISIT

  • Acquire mechanical knowledge and skills to fix your bike independently. Soon you’ll realize it’s not as hard as you thought
  • It’s free! (You do pay for spare parts, and donations to keep the workshop running are very welcome 🙂
  • Connect with other bike enthusiasts
