Bike Maintenance Course Christmas Gift

By Simon Whiten

One day basic bike maintenance course from Cycle Systems Academy

Give the gift of cycle maintenance this year! In one of our ‘Christmas Presents for Cyclists’ series, Gary Stanesby, one of our contributors, asked for a bike maintenance course – well Cycle Systems Academy may have just the answer…

If you have ever wished that you knew more about bike maintenance or wanted to do some of those niggling basic repairs but are not sure where to start, then cycle maintenance trainers, Cycle Systems Academy may have the answer.

Cycle Systems’ one-day basic cycle maintenance course is an introduction to cycle maintenance for complete beginners with absolutely no prior knowledge required. The course is run from the Cycle Systems’ Academy in London, mainly at weekends, with a syllabus that includes tyres, tubes and punctures, brakes, gearing systems and bearings.

The course is billed as the ideal place to begin if you would like a small taster of the trade or if you would like to gain the basic knowledge needed to both keep your bicycle running more smoothly for longer, as well as getting yourself home in an emergency. Students are encouraged to bring and work on their own bike for the course, with the aim to empower themselves to repair their own bicycle.

Cycle Systems Academy now offer gift vouchers for the one-day basic bike maintenance course which can be purchased on their website for that loved one’s Christmas or birthday present. The price of the course is £120 and includes all instruction and spares.
