You will carry out most the work on your own bicycle but some other bicycles or material will be available for demonstration and/or practice. Tools will be provided but you may want to consider bringing a small tool kit with you. (Also available for purchasing at Velorution.)

The class will be run by two instructors and there will be a maximum of 12 participants.

The cost for the two sessions will be £50 (payable in advance). If you need small items such as inner tubes, cables etc you can purchase them from the shop. (please note that we are able to offer this low rate only thanks to a grant from the London Borough of Camden whom we gratefully acknowledge)

If you would like to join future series, please

Drop-in Maintenance Workshop (followed, for those who wish, by a ride to Grosvenor Square, to take part in The Wave, the demonstration in support of action on climate change, in advance of the Copenhagen talks).

This is a self-help workshop - not a professional training, but they'll make sure that there are a number of people who know what they are doing, and will attempt to fix basic problems with appropriate tools, and help you understand how to do your own basic maintenance.

No charge, but if you want to make a contribution to the cost of hall hire, they'd be very grateful.
