Ladies Bike Maintenance Workshop at On Your Bike
On Your Bike
10:00 – 12:00
This is a ladies' bike maintenance workshop provided by On Your Bike. Due to the session taking place in the workshop, it's limited to 12 people. 6 bikes can be worked on at the same time, so during the morning there'll be the chance for everyone to work on their own bike. However, you don't need to bring your bike, to participate. Coffee and biscuits will be provided, with 'proper' coffee available at the hotel next door.
