Bike maintenance courses
Our free Bicycle Maintenance Courses give residents the skills and confidence to keep their bicycles running smoothly. These friendly sessions cover the essentials of bicycle care - from pumping tyres correctly to checking for wear, lubricating your chain and dealing with common issues like punctures.
The courses are hands‑on, supportive, and ideal for beginners wanting to become confident and independent at maintaining their own bicycles.
What you will learn
Led by experienced instructors, each session includes clear demonstrations followed by practical activities you complete on your own bicycle. You’ll learn how to:
- Inflate tyres to the right pressure
- Clean and lubricate your chain
- Carry out safety checks
- Identify damage or worn components
- Replace brake pads
- Fix a puncture and change an inner tube
- Keep your bicycle clean and roadworthy
What to expect during the session
When you arrive, you'll be welcomed by the instructor and asked about your bicycle and any concerns you want to address. The learning environment is relaxed: you’ll see repairs demonstrated, practise the techniques at your own pace, and have plenty of time to ask questions. All tools and equipment are provided. Just bring your bicycle and your curiosity.
