Auckland Library of Tools in collaboration with Repair Cafe Aotearoa are excited to bring you the 2nd in a series of repair and maintenance workshops every first Thursday of the month at Hackland Makerspace, just behind ALoT!Thursday July 4 will be a free hands-on bike maintenance workshop! RSVP encouraged. Come join in the fun, bring your bike (or just watch!), and learn the basics of caring for your bike and keeping it road-worthy. Our experts will help you become more comfortable with your bike so you will ride away feeling like a pro. You will learn how to:
-Clean and oil the chain and how often
-Tighten and balance the brakes
-Tune the gears
-Change a tire
-Patch a tube
...and more! Questions about the specifics of your bike are welcome.
Swap knowledge, tips and tricks, stories, and elbow grease with your neighbour and improve your bike skills, all while making Auckland a more bikeable place to live. Bring appropriate tools if you have them, or use the tools available in house. There will be nibbles and tea on hand, but contributions of food and beverage are very welcome. The vibe is relaxed, and social. Teens are welcome to participate, with an accompanying adult. We also have a play area for kids and there will be a couple of toddlers around as playmates!
Please RSVP so that we have an idea of attendance.
Getting here:
Bus stops on Ponsonby Rd (InnerLink, 20, 105, 106, 866), Great North Rd (11T/W, 18, 20, 195), and Karangahape Rd (WX1)
We are also near the northwestern cycleway.
