What's in it for me?

Save money: there are simple things you can do to keep your bike running smoothly and to save you money on repairs. It is good to know what you can fix yourself and when to go to a bike shop for professional help.

Help the environment: when you bike runs well, you want to ride it more. When you know how to fix bikes you can help your family and friends to make more trips on the bike and less in the car. Transport is now the greatest opportunity to reduce carbon emissions in Canberra.

Get job skills: want to work in a bike shop rather than Maccas? Bike shop owners want to give jobs to young people who know their way around bikes, and who like helping people. Working in a bike shop pays better than Maccas too.

Meet other people: people who like bikes are nice. Full stop.
