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

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!
