Maintenance Courses
Maintenance Courses for 2012-13
One of the joys of cycling is that it’s one of the most convenient and cheapest ways of getting around, and being able to carry out your own basic bike maintenance and repairs will save you even more money and hassle.
Kingston Council’s Climate Change and Sustainable Travel Team are again running a series of workshops where our qualified instructors will show you how to keep your bike safe and on the road.
We are delighted to work in partnership with the Eco-op in New Malden and running our courses in their dedicated cycle workshop. The Eco-op is a community enterprise refurbishing furnitures and second hand bicycles back to the community. For more info go to
