Wom+n's Workshop

We’re pleased to say our Wom+n’s Workshops are back! 

These sessions are a great opportunity build skills and friendship over with a trusty bike spanner in hand. These sessions tackle basic bike maintenance at a gentle pace, with plenty of time allowed for questions and hands-on learning. Wom+n’s workshop are open to anyone who identifies as a woman (including trans) and anyone who is non-binary. To tackle repeated issues of no-shows, our courses are now pre-paid, but do get in touch if cost is a barrier to you. These workshops are ran by some of Ride On’s volunteers who are looking to help empower others. Although experienced mechanics, If they feel a bike is not suited to the course they reserve the right to use a training bike instead.
