Hackney Bike Workshop needs volunteers

Hi,

The Hackney Bike Workshop http://www.hackney-cyclists.org.uk/workshop.htm is now so successful we are looking for more volunteers to teach people how to fix their bikes.

If you are interested in having an evening teaching people bike repair we would like to hear from you sessions are usually two hours followed by a visit to the pub on the first and third Thursday of the month.

Next workshop is 18th August and the one after that is 1st September.

Either PM me or ring or text 07940 121 513

All the best

What sort of thing are we talking?

I might be up for this, depending on what it entails

Hi Lynx,

Sorry for delay in replying the hackney Bike Workshop is an open workshop which runs for two hours twice a month. People bring and work on their own bikes which vary from dodgy old three speed roadsters and cheapo mountain bikes to top end Road bikes it depends who turn up on the night. Practically every session now days we get people straightening making wheels and there are always problems with brakes and gears. I have posted a few pictures of the workshop at http://www.flickr.com/photos/funny_cyclist/3497102329/ I've meant to take more but I never get enough time.

The idea is to teach people how to repair their bikes but this is always a balance with actually getting the work done in the time available.

We now have a good crowd of 6 regular volunteers with tow or three others who turn up irregularly.

I hope that is enough information for you.
