| Stopped riding your
bike
because of a
repair problem like a puncture, faulty brakes, bent wheels? Our
twice-monthly workshop can help, providing free lessons in all
aspects of bicycle
repair.
Mechanically-minded LCC volunteers offer support, advice & help. They might, for example, advise on rehabilitating an old bike, or on keeping your regular bike in trim. If you haven't got the tools for the job, don't worry. We are equipped with all the necessaries including stands to work at.
Those who run the workshop give their time for free, and there is no set charge for the facilities. But we do ask people to make a small donation towards running costs, i.e. tools and rent. All welcome. Hope to see you there. ---> Fame at last! The workshop was featured in the Evening Standard in March 2003. <--- Photo courtesy of Adam Thompson

Please bring parts if you know that something needs replacing. Many people initially come to diagnose a problem with their machine, and then spend the next few sessions getting stuck into a major task, often for the first time. You can also take your time to work out what other spares you might need to buy in, to be ready for the job.
