Bath Bike Workshop
A chance to build your own bike
Added: 13 November 2015
Earn a bike in six weeks and learn to maintain it forever
Build-a-Bike is a six-week course that gives a rewarding, hands-on introduction to bicycle maintenance. The course is intended for people with a history of homelessness, an offending background, substance misuse needs or long-term unemployment.
At the end of the course, participants will have completely dismantled and rebuilt a bike. This is then theirs to keep, along with a certificate of completion.
The sessions run once a week and are supervised by experienced bicycle mechanics, with additional one-to-one support available. The course takes a practical approach and teaches through hands-on experience rather than theory
During the course individuals will gain knowledge and experience of;
- Health and safety
- Workplace risk assessment
- Working as part of a team
- Handling tools
For more information please download the flyer
The next course will start on 26th November based at the Junction 3 development, adjacent to the M32 in Easton. Referrals need to be received by 15th November 2015 to be considered.
