- Textile repairs with TRAID - Learn how to sew and repair your own clothes in a friendly workshop setting.
- Electrical repairs with the Restart Project - Repairers will help you troubleshoot and fix small electronic appliances. You are responsible for your device and any data stored on it. Please only bring one item per person.
- Bike repairs with Peddle My Wheels - Cycle instructor mechanics will check your bike — wheels, brakes, gears, racks, pedals and saddles. Minor adjustments will be fixed on the day; for major repairs, you’ll get advice on what to do next.
- Bike market - Browse fully serviced, affordable, used bikes. You can also donate your old bike to Peddle My Wheels, who are running the market.
