Bike Repair Workshop: Cups, Cones and Bearings

Bike repair workshop open to all levels of experience and expertise. People can use the tools to repair their own bikes, though they cannot expect guidance from the mechanics. People who want to work on their own bikes and need the help of a mechanic should come to the Open Workshop every Thursday night.
