Get the skills, grow in confidence and keep cycling! Whether you’re just starting out on a bike, thinking about cycling more, or simply nuts about bikes – there’s a British Cycling Bike Maintenance Workshop for you.

We know that the thought of getting a puncture, miles from home, is daunting for even the most experienced cyclist. Setting off on a great bike ride with the peace of mind that your bike is safe, set up correctly, and that you’re confident and prepared, will allow you to enjoy your bike rides even more.

British Cycling's workshops are delivered in partnership with Spike Taylor and his Pro Tool School. Spike has 18 years experience, and worked with the GB team for 11 years.

A word from British Cycling: “As the national governing body for the sport and home to the GB Cycling Team, we can offer the inside track on maintenance and repair straight from the pros. The new workshops will be delivered in a fun and hands-on format and are open to cyclists of all ages and abilities.”

Spike says: “There is nothing difficult about basic bike maintenance and repair. These new workshops are designed to teach new and regular cyclists some simple techniques and give them the confidence to do the job themselves, saving them time and money.”

We guarantee a thoroughly engaging and enjoyable experience!
