Basic Bicycle Maintenance

This training is for you if you would like to learn how to look after your bike and carry out simple maintenance. The basic maintenance course is provided at the subsidised cost of £10, thanks to TFGM.

You will learn:
• About the parts of your bike and what they do.
• What to check before you ride
• How to adjust the saddle, handlebars, brakes and gears
• How to mend punctures.

Led by a bike maintenance expert, you’ll be in a small group with other beginners in a friendly, supportive atmosphere. It’s a hands-on session which will give you the confidence and skills to keep your bike on the move. It’s best to bring your own bike to work on, but we can lend you one if necessary.
