In this workshop, we will cover some of the things you might encounter on a ride, and emergency fixes that will get you home.

This workshop is open to self-identifying women only.

If you need to learn how to change an inner tube and fix a puncture, please book on our Basic Bike Maintenance Workshop as we won’t cover punctures in this session.

Together we will cover:

Brakes – troubleshooting “spongy”, sticking and noisy brakes, emergency fixes
Gears – troubleshooting skipping gears
Chains – noisy chains, when a chain needs replacing and demo of what to do if it snaps on a ride
What to do if a spoke snaps
What tools you need to carry with you on a ride for maximum preparedness but minimum weight!

You will need:

Your bike (or you can work on one of ours)
Your own refreshments
Comfortable warm clothing you don’t mind getting mucky (we don’t have heating!)
