Bespoke maintenance courses
Take a quick look below at the most common maintenance courses I offer. My goal with running these courses is to make you more confident at working on your own bike and more resilient when faced with having to tackle a trail or roadside repair.
I am especially keen to work with new cyclists or those looking to level up their riding and their understanding of bikes. I have a wealth of knowledge about bikes and bike riding and I am keen to share that with you. Having worked in the industry for a long time, I know what works and what doesn’t, can cut through marketing hype quickly and can recommend cost saving hints and tips that do not compromise on performance.
Courses are hands-on, not classroom or theory based.
You will learn on your own bike.
Courses typically run weekday evenings.
Courses are 1 to 1 but small groups can be accommodated if you prefer.
