Membership
Are you interested in becoming bicycle self-sufficient?
Want to join a group of like-minded gear heads?
Then a BIL membership may be the right thing for you!
The first step to becoming a member is to attend one of our open days. Come by and lend a hand and see if you like the fit. There is no prior experience required, only your enthusiasm to work on bikes!
After you come a few times, we would be glad to welcome you as a member!
Can I volunteer?
Member's Agreement:
The below statement was agreed at our general assembly in November 2024, which outlines what it means to be a member.
Membership, first and foremost, is a commitment of time and energy to the Bicycle Innovation Lab. We operate entirely upon our members as volunteers to keep the place running. Whatever your skills are currently, we can tool them to our mutual benefit. If you are good at writing, or taking pictures, or fundraising, or can make a website, or if you are good at organizing tools or organizing people or anything else, we can use your help!
Members of Bicycle Innovation Lab are expected to volunteer at least two shifts per year. A shift can be working an open day, or completing an organizational or logistical task, such as completing a parts order or attending a community meeting.
Membership will cost 600kr per year, with a subsidized rate down to 300kr if you are a student or unemployed. You can join at any point in the year, and the membership will last 12 months from date of payment.
After becoming a member of BIL, you get access to our group chat. There, we announce additional member-only open days, and you can request openings.

Members will also get access to future benefits as they arise. We are testing a bicycle library program where you can borrow cargo bikes. Members will also be able to order parts and bicycles at dealer prices.
As a board, we have agreed that all meetings will be open to all members. Members are considered active if their dues are current. Members get voting rights to elect the board.
