The Bike Library and Workshop on the campus of the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta.

This is not a co-op. It is supported by the Students Union of the University of Alberta under the group Sustain SU. The Bike Library is part of a broader sustainable life style initiative.

The Bike Library was started in 2005. Initially they loaned bicycles to people at no cost, hence the name library. Currently the Bike Library rents restored old bicycles that are donated. Sustainability means trying to reuse and not purchasing new items.

The Workshop is used to maintain the bicycle rental fleet. The Workshop is also open several hours a week to everyone to come in and work on their bicycles. It is a DIY bike shop with a mechanic and volunteers to give guidence on what and how to fix on your bicycle. Use of the bike stands and tools is free. There is a selection of used parts and some new parts.

There are many bicycle commuters travelling to the campus and this workshop is well used.
