Workshops start Tuesday week 1

Our popular weekly maintenance workshops, where you can bring your bike along and learn how to fix it (using our tools and the expertise of our volunteers), start in week 1.

The first workshop will be on Tuesday 2 March, and they’ll run every week from 12pm-2pm.

They’ll be on the raised stage on the Quadrangle Lawn, at the base of the Basser steps.

If you know about fixing bikes and would like to help out, come along too!

Wednesday Night Mechanics’ School

Are you looking to learn some more about bikes over the holidays? A second night is starting up at Bike Club (the one in Waterloo), and you’re invited to the first session next Wednesday 18th.

We’re going to be focusing on a different topic each week. The first one is about gears, and the second will be about “stayin’ alive”.

You can see the schedule, as well as some more info, here.

Last workshop today

Today’s bike repair workshop will be the last for 2009. Thanks to everyone who’s come along and helped out: Vernon, Craig, Ally, Sigitas, and all the others!

If you need help with your bike between now and March 2010, bring it along to Cycle ReCycle, which runs every Monday night 5-9pm at 1 Phillip St, Waterloo.

Can you help fix bikes this Friday?

Our bike loan scheme is about to start, but the bikes need a bit of a tune-up before they can get loaned out.

Can you help out for an hour or two? We’ll be fixing them up from 10am-4pm this Friday. If you’re free, please email bike-email. No bike fixing knowledge necessary!
