This is something we’ve been asked to do for a long time, so if you want to learn the basics about maintaining your own bike book yourself a space today.
How it’ll work:
Being able to maintain your bike is as important as being able to ride it. Keeping it running isn’t rocket science, all it takes is a few basic tools and a little know how. We can help you get that know how on this basic bike maintenance course.
The course will be aimed at the novice or intermediate rider and will be fairly informal, it will involve practical demonstration from Dan and Sam both Cytech certified mechanics and hands-on maintenance on road or mountain bikes. We encourage you to ask questions and you can even take notes if you wish.
The course will take place on Thursday 19th November at the 4th Guernsey Scout hut (behind forest Methodist church) at 6.30pm and will last for approximately 2hrs, spaces are limited so please call us on 232855 to reserve your place today.
The cost of the course is £20 payable in advance.
