Flat tyre? Chain playing up? Brakes doing something they probably shouldn’t be?

Come and learn what to do about it at Bike Basics 101!

We’re taking over b.social for a free evening of bike know-how, good chats and practical skills to help you feel more confident tackling the basics yourself.

Around the room, we’ll have three demo spots covering:
• Punctures
• Chains
• Brakes

Ted from Racers Edge, Joel and Kerry from Bike Glendhu and Simon from Wastebusters will be joining us to share their know-how and answer your questions. We’ll also unpack the essentials worth carrying on every ride, so you’re not left wondering what on earth to do when something goes wrong.

Grab a drink, move between the demos, have a chat and learn at your own pace. No pressure, no bike expertise required.

Maybe you’re just getting into biking. Maybe you ride every weekend but wouldn’t dream of fixing a puncture yourself. Either way, you’re welcome.

The idea is simple: learn a few useful repair skills, understand your bike a little better and leave feeling more confident to have a go yourself. Because repair is a pretty powerful skill to have.

This isn’t a bring-your-bike repair workshop, so you can leave your bike at home for this one!
