evening course

bicycle maintenance

location: nr Penrith, Cumbria

This evening course runs from 6pm to 8.30pm with some hands-on work. It covers things you need to know about your bike & how to mend them in order to be self sufficient when you're out on a day bike ride on your own. Starting with the basics, Steve rapidly moves through most common problems with tyres, punctures, wheels, brakes, gears etc. - the list is quite comprehensive.

These shorter evening courses will give you the confidence to feel happy about riding on your own - it takes you through all the theory, gives hands-on puncture repair practice and suppies you with a very comprehensive worksheet.

It may be that you're best to attend an evening course first to get you through the punctures and basic problems encountered when out on a ride - and then attend the full day strip and build course once you're ready to get your hands dirtier and you realise that you have more questions.

Course tutor is Steve Woods of MIAS Adventure Cycling.

Includes drink & cakes.
