Cycle maintenance classes

Our current availability is listed here

These classes cover the basics of cycle maintenance.  We should be able to cover: checking, cleaning and fitting your bike; removing a wheel and tyre to fix a puncture; adjusting different types of brakes.

If these sessions are fully booked, please contact us to be put onto our waiting list.

Learn to fix it from a book

If you can’t make it to one of our courses, but still want to try some home maintenance, have a look at the Basic Bicycle Maintenance Manual provided free from the London Cyclist.

You can also find out how to carry out an 11-step M-check of your bike on this Sustrans page, or watch the video.

Other cycle maintenance workshops

Some local borough cycling groups run cycle maintenance workshops. These are often volunteer-led, and can offer you advice and help to maintain your own cycle:

• Cycle Islington sometimes run maintenance workshops
• Hackney Bike Workshop (three evenings a month)
• Kentish Town Bike Workshop (first Monday of the month)

Note: The three courses listed above are not run by or affiliated to Islington Council
