A brief description of the enterprise:

Université Laval’s Coop Roue-Libre was the first self-service cooperative bike shop in Québec. It opened on August 31, 2009.

Its mission is to empower community members to maintain, repair, and use their bicycles as a means of transportation. The cooperative also aspires to be a model for utility biking in Québec.
