If you’d like to find out how to maintain your own bike, we have a range of live, interactive online classes on Zoom, which you can join on a suitable PC, laptop, tablet, or phone. In these one-hour sessions, which cost £10 per person, classes of up to 10 people can start with the basics like puncture repairs, safety checks, and cleaning and oiling bikes. For more experienced cyclists, we have classes which include brakes (cable-operated rim brakes) and gears, for example, if you need to learn how to set up your rear gears to give crisp, fast, reliable changes.

In these classes, you’ll be able to watch one of our mechanics as they take you through topics step-by-step, with time for you to ask all those questions which pre-recorded videos on the internet haven’t been able to answer for you. And if you have other questions which only come to you after the class, you can always email us for any follow-up information you might need.
