“Cycle maintenance training is worth its weight in gold. I learned so much about my bike. I’m new to owning a bike and didn’t really know much about the upkeep and repair. Thanks to this workshop that’s all different now. When I check my bike before a journey I actually know what I’m doing and I also feel confident now to take care of a puncture or brake adjustments.”
