This autumn, we’re offering free bike maintenance courses and bike checks to keep your bike in peak condition, helping you to ride safely and confidently and connect you with your cycling community.
Register now to secure your place.
Bike maintenance courses
There are two maintenance courses on offer – one for general bikes and one for mountain bikes. They provide opportunities to share practical knowledge and help you feel more confident and capable working on and maintaining your bike.
In each course you will learn how to:
- Check your bike before riding
- Fix common issues like flat tyres and loose chains
- Understand what maintenance can be done safely at home and when to seek professional help
The courses are open to cyclists of all ages who live, work or study in Knox. Under 13’s must be accompanied by an adult.
