Different Spokes Grand Opening

Different Spokes Brampton Bike Hub

Different Spokes is a cooperative bike shop, operated by Bike Hub staff and volunteers. It is located in downtown Brampton at 8 Nelson St. W. (northwest corner of Nelson and Main, just south of the railway bridge, see Google Map).

We are about empowering people to ride bicycles for fun and transportation. How do we do it? See below.

We are a member organization. You must be a Bike Hub member to take advantage of Different Spokes services and participate in programs.

Bike Library

Different Spokes lends bikes generously donated by the community and then lovingly refurbished by Bike Hub mechanics and volunteers.

If you don’t have a bike, become a Bike Hub member. We will try to fit you with one from our bicycle library.

We accept gently used bikes at Different Spokes, during operating hours.

A Year at Different Spokes – 2023

Thank you for riding with us, coasting on one of our library bikes, or wrenching with us during our first year of Different Spokes. It took a village to make this dream come to life, so thank you to the 159 volunteers who contributed over 6,000 hours to empower cycling in their community. Thanks to you, 278 library bikes were ridden, 3,446 bikes were repaired, and 82 rides took place.
