Cannot speak highly enough about this course. Great value-for-money.Mike and the team at the Bristol Bike Project delivered an excellent day. The course was pitched just right, covering the M-check, changing brake cables, replacing brake blocks, indexing brakes, cutting and replacing chains, puncture repairs and other good-to-know maintenance fixes.All-in-all, an extremely hands-on and practical course, which more than exceeded my expectations. I’m looking forward to following this up with Day 2.If you own a bike, make sure you sign up to this course.

I’ve just completed day 1 of the intensive bike maintenance course this week-end. I can only recommend it highly to anyone wanted to know more about how to look after their bike. The team is great, knowledgeable, very helpful and good fun. They managed to make a beginner like me feel more confident about servicing my bike. I learnt a lot in these few hours. Having the option to use their workshop on Thursday evenings is also a big +. Lastly all of other participants were friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable. Thank you.

Just attended the all day intensive bike maintenance course. Brilliant day showing us how to strip down and service our bikes. Great teachers, highly recommended.

I recently attended both days and they were fantastic! I’ve always been afraid of working on my bike before now. Even taking the rear wheel off used to leave me in cold sweats. But now, I’ve had two punctures on my rear wheel since and have repaired the tube both times super quickly. I was also fearful of breaking the rear mech at the slightest touch and I thought the bottom bracket was a magical component that mere mortals never touched! Ha! I’m considering adding a few more tools to my collection so I can regularly service/overhaul all the bearing systems because… I thought it was fun. All the tutors were great and really patient, it was always very inclusive and enough time was given on each part for everyone to really get their heads around it and then actually do it themselves. It also gave me the confidence to attend a women’s night drop in to service my front wheel hub myself! I would recommend the maintenance courses and the drop in sessions to anyone who cycles! Thanks so much!!

Really excellent course! Mike and Julien were both extremely knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. We were a group of 6 and I feel everyone came away with a greater understanding of how bikes work and how to keep them in top nick! The whole concept of this project is fantastic as well and hope to come back and get involved with the volunteering
