Fixing and maintaining your bike is a big part of cycling
We also know that can feel overwhelming - what's a deraileur? How do you fix a flat?
This is what our Foundational & Advanced Bike Maintenance sessions are here to help you with.
How learning to fix your bike can help you
Save Money on Mechanic fees for easy-to-fix issues
Learn how to fix every day mechanical issues yourself, instead of spending time and money dashing to the mechanics.
Gain the skills you need to cycle independently
Get a flat whilst you're out? No problem, you can quickly fix it yourself without stressing about what to do.
Build your confidence with running your bike
Instead of panicking every time something goes wrong, think "right, I can fix that" and tackle the repair with ease.
I've gained self worth in the sense that I am now capable of not only owing a bike but taking care of it myself. I can save money on transport and I will have the freedom to come to Oxford whenever I want. I love you Broken Spoke!

I really like the environment and the vibe at the Broken Spoke, it is a very friendly and conducive atmosphere to learn in. The course leaders were both very helpful and knowledgeable and at no point did the course or the content feel condescending

I learned some great tricks that have made doing the basics much easier and found out about some adjustments I didn’t know were possible, which have really helped!
