Recently, new bicycle repair stands were installed in downtown Peterborough.

On Saturday, Tegan Moss from B!ke: the Community Cycling Hub was downtown to offer a helping hand to anyone that wanted to learn more about using them.

Anyone tried them out yet? Add your comments below.

After many years in the lower floor at Knox Church, B!ke: The Peterborough Community Bike Shop has moved to 336 Rubidge Street. Yesterday was opening day and the sun beamed into the busy new location. At B!ke, you can repair your bicycle, attend workshops and increase your bicycle repair skills through its director Clifford McCarten or fellow B!ke members and volunteers.

B!ke is open Sunday 2-5pm, Monday 5-8pm, Tuesday 5-8pm and Wednesday from 5-8pm.

Membership is $30 a year or $5 an hour and they take donations of bicycles and parts that are in decent condition.
