Women’s Bike Maintenance Workshop (evening)

This International Women’s Day (8 March) the Green Living Centre is celebrating women and offering a range of cycling engagements to encourage more women to cycle in the Inner West.

Would you like to know how to fix a puncture and keep your bike in good working order, so you know it’s always ready to roll? Join our free hands-on bike maintenance workshop to learn how to keep your bike running smoothly with just a few basic tools and some practical know-how.

Led by Pedal Set Go, bike education experts, this workshop will cover the following: how to check your bike is safe to ride, what tools you need, how to keep things clean and lubed, how to get the wheels on and off, how to fix a flat and how to know when parts need replacing.

There’ll be time for questions/discussion of further sources of credible maintenance information.
