Commuter Cycles at Cyclovia

Huw — Tue, 20 May 2008 00:52:41 +0000

The Commuter Cycles workshop hit the streets for the Cyclovia ‘Tour de Moreland’ on April 13. Huw was run off his feet all day doing safety checks and quick tune ups for Moreland residents enjoying a ‘car-free’ ride along Sydney Road. It was amazing to see so many people out with their children.

Check out the video on the Melbourne Cyclist website (That’s me at the start).

The bikefix also cracked a mention on the RRR cycling podcast, ‘Along for the ride’. The actual interview I did on the day with Sublime and Sturmey Archer must have ended up on the editing suite floor! If you listen carefully though you’ll hear them talk about a decidedly busy bikefix stall about 2/3rds of the way through the April 22nd edition of the show.

The Commuter Cycles workshop goes mobile…

Last Saturday afternoon the Commuter Cycles went mobile to deliver a bike maintenance workshop at the East Melbourne library. The workshop was part of the innovative Sustainability Street program being supported in Melbourne by the Moreland City Council and the Moreland Energy Foundation.

Participants brought their bikes along so they could learn the basics of bike maintenance ‘hands-on’. Topics included: how to make sure your bike is safe to ride, brake and gear adjustment and how to fix a puncture and change a tube.

If you’d like to learn more about how to look after your bike, Commuter Cycles will be running regular bike maintenance workshops (from its home base) in the coming months so stay tuned…
