But some members of the Vancouver cycling community say walking into a male-dominated bike shop can be intimidating. That's why two women working in the industry are welcoming women, trans and queer cyclists to workshops created just for them. Our Community Bikes — an East Vancouver bike shop for DIY bicycle repair and affordable maintenance and sales — offers in-person events on the first Wednesday of every month. They'll see themselves reflected in the people that are actually doing the work," said Sophia Suderman, Our Community Bikes' executive director. On the second Wednesday of every month, the Bike Kitchen offers online workshops called Women and Queer Night.
