Maintenance courses
There are several maintenance courses run regularly in Cambridge, but details change often.
- Outspoken cycle couriers have branched out in many directions and have become an influential organisation for cyclists in Cambridge in recent years. Among their ventures are one-day cycle maintenance courses at basic and intermediate level. Outspoken offers a discount of 20% to Cycling Campaign members for these courses, which would repay your membership immediately! The reduced cost is £36 in 2011.
- As part of its adult education programme, Hills Road 6th Form College offers two bike maintenance courses most terms, introductory and advanced. They are run by John Claydon. Cost £25 in 2011.
- If what you need is not so much instruction but tools and space to maintain your bike, Reworks in Harvest Way (off Newmarket Road near the Elizabeth Way roundabout) may be able to help. Reworks is a community space for art, cycling and sustainability, and every Wednesday and Saturday between 11am and 5pm they run bike workshops. Some tuition is available along with the tools you would need.
