Overcome your obstacles

Identify your starting point

It all starts with knowing where you are now. We take a simple look at your current skills and what you feel confident with, as well as the areas you’d like to improve. This helps us understand what support will make the biggest difference, so we can build training that’s the right fit for you or your workshop.

Wheel building

Wheel building is all about learning how spokes, tension and truing work together to create a strong, reliable wheel. It’s a hands‑on skill that builds confidence and helps riders understand one of the most important parts of their bike.

trail side maintenance

Trail‑side maintenance teaches you how to deal with the common problems that can stop a ride in its tracks. From fixing punctures and slipped chains to quick adjustments and simple on‑the‑go repairs, it gives riders the confidence to keep moving when things go wrong out on the trail.

schools + community

Schools and communities benefit from simple, hands‑on bike skills that help people feel confident and independent. These sessions bring children, families and local groups together to learn basic checks, safe setup and easy fixes that keep bikes running well. It’s an approachable way to build skills, encourage active travel and strengthen community connections.
