Beginners Cycle Maintenance Course
About this Event

Our beginners course is a great introduction to bicycle maintenance and is suitable for people who don’t feel very confident handling tools or who would use a local bike shop for puncture repair but would like to learn how to do it themselves.

After the course you will be able to check your bike over before a ride to make sure it is road worthy, or repair a puncture much more confidently. You will also pick up some tips for keeping your bike in good shape, hopefully making your servicing intervals less frequent.

The Beginners course covers:

* Roadside puncture repair – removal of wheel and tyre

* M-Check (learning how to check that major components are safe and roadworthy, making minor adjustments)

* Removal and refitting of brake blocks, balancing brake calipers

* Adjusting brake cable tension

* Preventative care e.g. how to clean and lubricate


We have to ask for donations to cover these costs, but will always reserve one space for anyone who is on a low income and cannot afford to pay. For everyone else we have a donation guide, based on these principles

Pay It Forward donation:This price is slightly above the cost of delivering the service, and the surplus will go towards subsidising a client who requires a Supported or Pay What You Can price.This price is aimed at people who are able to meet their basic needs and have extra disposable income to pay a solidarity price.

Standard donation: This price covers our costs in delivering the service. This price is aimed at people who are able to meet their basic needs and have enough to live on.

Pay What You Can donation: This price is lower than our cost of delivery and relies on our Pay It Forward clients to cover our costs.

3 hour course donation guide

Pay It Forward donation £60

Standard £40

Pay What You Can £10 to £30
