Do you love bikes? Would you like to learn new bike repair and maintenance skills to help other people cycle?
We are looking for volunteers to help in our Bike Repair and Maintenance Group. This group:
-Services bikes belonging to the community
-Renovates donated bikes to give to people who could not have one otherwise
-Maintains the fleet of bikes used by our team of volunteer lock keepers
Training will be given but we are particularly looking for people who already have some interest in bikes. Committed volunteers will be given the opportunity to work towards certified Bike Mechanic Training.
We also run led cycles with the opportunity to qualify as lead cyclists, taking groups along the tow path and beyond.

Experience required

Any practical skills would be helpful but what is important is an enthusiasm for making and repairing things, for learning new skills and passing on what you know.
Full training provided. An interest in canals, heritage, exercise, well- being and or creativity.

Travel details

Lock 16 Port Downie Camelon, situated at the side of the canal with easy access and parking on site.
