Join this hands on interactive basic bike maintenance workshop!

Over two and half hours you'll get to know your bike better while also learning;

how to make sure your bike is safe to ride
the names of things so you can google them.
how to remove front and back wheels
the different ways to deal with a flat tyre
looking after your chain and why you should.
Depending on progress on the day we may also have time for participants to work on own bike, ask questions, and get assistance and advice regarding maintenance issues.
