As a qualified grumpy old man I approached this feeling, on the one hand that it would be a waste of time and on the other a fear that my ignorance might be exposed. Mike and Julien oozed knowledge and experience, a great ability to communicate effectively and an enthusiasm that makes me hope my bike falls to bits – just so that I can fix it! This course not only makes me feel more in tune with my bike, more confident to keep it healthy but will also save me a load of money on expensive servicing. Furthermore, although I haven’t tried this, they allow you to access their workshop for £2 on certain evenings! Thank you!

Great course. Friendly and relaxed. Well taught and tailored to the learning aims of each participant and the characteristics of their bike.I brought some new parts and was very grateful for Henry and Julien’s advice in fitting them. Bike is now how I want it and running well.Thank you

I’ve now done both days of the course and found them really useful. Henry and Julien are excellent teachers and paced the sessions to the people attending, encouraging full participation and giving just the right amount of help. I took different bikes that needed some work along to the two days. Both are now in good shape. A very enjoyable couple of days!

I can only reiterate the comments made by previous delegates; I joined the Day 1 course because I wanted to be able to fix problems on my bike myself. The course has given me the confidence to check for faults and, if necessary, adjust or replace brakes (very important!). I am not so confident that I understand the derailleur adjustments but that is more down to me than the teaching and I intend to book the Day 2 course to follow through on the training. It was a brilliant course, well structured and very well presented and I had a great day. Many thanks to Mike and Julien for their attention to detail and really positive engagement with all the students through the day.

Anyone wanting to learn more about their bike should take these courses! After attending the day 2 intensive course on 28th May, I have learnt to be more hands on with the drive train of my bike, fixing and adjusting those annoying creaks and squeaks that make yourself wonder if a major break down is coming. The courses are paced well with easy to follow demo’s. Thanks to both Mike and Julien who were happy to spend some time on the more unusual issues of my bike and share their knowledge where they could.
