WELCOME TO THE GOOD LIFE!!
As a
vehicle to building community, the shop is a one-stop-shop biking
support hub in Calgary’s downtown core offering reconditioned/recycled
bikes, repair space, tools and instruction, and workshops. The shop
provides a safe and supportive atmosphere for novice and experienced
riders alike. Further, The Good Life is community meeting space open for
use to environment and community minded groups. The Good Life
collaborates and builds relationships with other community groups as
well as offering work experience while focusing on the ideal of mutual
aid.
The Good Life strives to make Calgary a better place for
cyclists and all community members alike through creating a venue for
education concerning cycling as well as other local issues. Aside from
the benefits of encouraging cycling through mechanical awareness,
self-sufficiency, and affordability, environmental benefits include
reducing carbon emissions through reduced traffic congestion as well as
individual production in addition to recycling bicycles and parts
otherwise destined for the waste stream. The shop not only facilitates
access to affordable bicycles and services, thus enabling people to ride
and keep riding, but builds the stronger sense of community that our
booming population so desperately needs. This project is an end in
itself, while also creating a positive space for the promotion and
organization of future ventures dedicated to the goals of environmental
protection and community empowerment.
So, if you got bike issues or just want to have some fun, come on down - everybody is welcome.
