Cycle Kitchen: Book a Workstand @ Meadowbank
Description
What to expect?
During our Cycle Kitchen you will have access to a great range of cycle maintenance tools and your individual stand and tool kit to work on your own cycle (bike, trike, wheelchair, unicycle ...). You will be joined by other members in a friendly space of learning and practicing. You will work on a maintenance or fixing project of your own choosing. If you're looking for some help diagnosing a problem or need guidance on the best way to apply a fix, we often have a few qualified cycle mechanic volunteers who will be happy to guide you.
We do not have a significant parts bin for rummaging
We do keep a small range of consumables (cable inners, cable outers, end caps, assorted nuts and bolts, tubes, brake pads) for purchase
We have PPE (mask, ear defenders, safety glasses, non-latex gloves) for all attendees, if you have your own we recommend you to bring them
If you need any help or guidance, please ask our volunteers, they are eager to help!
Please note there is no possibility of storing your projects for the next time you come in. Our tool library space is shared and used by different groups throughout the week. We need as much space available for the magic of sharing to happen.
If you're worried about trying to fix something, wether we have the tools, or someone with the knowledge to assist, get in touch with thomas@edinburghtoollibrary.org.uk with your concerns and we'll let you know if we can help!
Important Information
- Requirements
Having an active membership at the Edinburgh Tool Library is required. Sign up or renew your membership here, as little as £10 for the year
Bring your own cycle (bike, trike, wheelchair, unicycle ...) to work on.
- Booking Etiquette
We only have a small number of spaces available each week, so to allow all of our members to have equal access to the workshop, please only book two sessions a month in advance.
However, as there is no wait list for our Cycle Kitchen, if you have used your two sessions and spot a last minute slot you can use, feel free to snap it up.
If you would like to attend this session but find that it is already fully booked, new dates are published on Humanitix weekly every Thursday evening at 20:00.
Cancelling and £5 no-show fee
Out of courtesy to volunteers please cancel your booking 48 hours in advance. This will give us the opportunity to offer the workstand to another member and make the most of the time our volunteers are offering.
If you fail to attend the session, we reserve the right to deduct a no-show fee donation of £5 from your registered card on myTurn. If there are any issues with cancelling online, contact us on hello@edinburghtoollibrary.org.uk.
- Location
The session will take place in the ETL Meadowbank Hub, 121 Lawrie Reilly Place, EH7 5GS.
The shop is best accessed via the cycle-pedestrian path south of the railway bridge overpass.
