Ever wanted to get your hands dirty but didn't know where to begin? Thought that paying £20 to get some new brake pads was just a tad too much? Looks like it's time for you to learn how to do it yourself! In LBK's Introduction to Bike Maintenance course, we'll show you how.

Day 1: How your bike works

1) Names of common bike parts

2) Essential basic tools: names and usage

3) How to give your bike a health check

4) How to clean and lubricate a bike (includes how to use a chain breaker, and how to use our fancy-pants, eco-friendly parts washer)

5) Fixing punctures

Day 2: Preventative care for your bike

6) How to fit your bike to your body

7) Rim Brakes - how they work, how to adjust and how to change brake blocks + cables. NB, if you have hub brakes or disc brakes, your brakes won't be covered by this class.

8) Derailleur Gears - how they work, how to index. Includes how to set high/low limit screws and how to adjust cable tension. NB, if you have hub gears, this won't be covered in the class. We do a separate class on Sturmey Archer hub gears.

Your teacher will be the awesome Alexis Zafiropoulos, cargo bike fanatic and general bike lover.  

This course will take place Tuesday 30 September and Wednesday 1 October, and will include bottomless tea and coffee. You will also get 1 year's LBK membership when you sign up! What a lovely way to spend your evenings. And if you don't have your own bike - don't worry, we can lend you one, just let us know beforehand.

Knowledge is power - arm thyself.
