Havering Council’s cycle maintenance classes will begin again in October, after a trial set of sessions over the summer were fully booked.
The classes will be held in Harold Hill to help cyclists at any level to learn how to fix a puncture, adjust brakes and gears and carry out a general safety check. A more advanced course will cover removal and installation of cycle parts.
The classes are free, although a £5 refundable deposit will be required. All advanced courses are from 10am to 4pm and all basic maintenance sessions are 10am to noon or 1.30pm to 3.30pm. Cyclists should bring their own bike to the sessions.
Both courses are being held at myplace, 343 Dagnam Park Drive, Harold Hill, RM3 9DJ. Places are limited and can be booked by calling 01708 376004.
Councillor Robert Benham, Cabinet Member for Environment, said:
“These courses have been really popular and it just shows how many keen cyclists we have in the borough.
“I hope this motivates those who haven’t yet given it a try to get on their bikes. Those who have a bike sat in the shed should dust it off and bring it along to get it back on the road.”
All dates and times for the maintenance classes are available on the cycle maintenance page.
These sessions are in addition to the ‘Mark it in the Market’ events that take place on the first Saturday of the month in Romford Market, and the regular cycle training.
