Big Bike Revival @ Wivenhoe Bike kitchen
WBK’s courses are designed with beginners in mind and simple tools such as an adjustable spanner, a few allen keys, a puncture kit and a bike pump. These are hands on, practical courses and you’ll work on your own bike.
Booking via email bicyclewiv[at]gmail.com is essential.
Courses are free as part of The Big Bike Revival

3 hour course. We aim to get you confident in fitting and removing your rear wheel, fixing punctures and adjusting brakes and gears.
Sunday 28 June, 2026. 10:00 – 13:00
A few caveats.
These courses prioritise cable actuated brakes & gears (If your bike has brake and gear cables, you have cable actuated brakes / gears) – we can usually accommodate derailleur and hub gears. If you’re wanting to learn about hydraulic or rod actuated brakes or electronic gears these courses might not be for you.
Where a course features puncture repair, we assume that your bicycle has inner tubes. If your bike has tubeless tyres these courses might not be ideal.
