Cycle Maintenance Courses
Bikeworks maintenance courses can be tailored to all levels, from complete beginners to the more experienced cyclists. We aim to show that many of the simpler repairs can be undertaken by people in their own home and with the minimum amount of tools. The shop cost of simple repairs, such as punctures and replacing brake blocks, can cost between £10 and £20, for the cost of the parts (as little as £4) there are considerable savings to be made if you do the job yourself.
Bikes like all modes of transport need to be looked after on a regular basis, the next time you think about taking your bike to a shop to be repaired why not think about spending that money on a course of maintenance lessons. Once you have been trained you will be able to eliminate problems and fix your bike in a matter of minutes
Our maintenance courses aim to offer practical advice from fully trained Cytech professionals in an environment that is friendly, safe and fully equipped.
Courses run twice a week and we would recommend that you purchase between 7 to 8 sessions to ensure you have a full working knowledge. However you can choose to participate in as many as you feel you need to reach the level you want.
