Learn and practice simple skills to look after your own bike at home and while out on a ride. Knowing the basics can help improve your confidence and enable you to cycle further and save you money! The friendly and welcoming volunteers from Teams Wheelers will take you through each topic step-by-step and give you plenty of opportunity to try for yourself.
Each session plan covers a different topic to give us plenty of time to practice and talk about related issues:
Sep 13th - Carrying out an "M" check on your bike
Sep 20th - Repairing punctures and changing inner tubes
Sep 27th - Checking and replacing break pads
Oct 4th - Proper cleaning and general maintenance
Oct 11th - Tuning and indexing gears
Oct 18th - Bike security, types of locks and how to use them
Please note, these are not bike repair sessions where a mechnic will fix your bike but an opportunity to learn, get advice, and practice. We can give support with small issues on your bike pertaining to that week's topic, but for further support please do book a free Dr Bike repair session here:
