Kids Kabin - Bike Club

WELCOME TO THE BIKE CLUB

Kids Kabin has a well equipped bicycle repair workshop. Every Wednesday and Friday afternoon young people bring along their bikes (in all sorts of conditions!) and learn how to repair them. If you are interested speak to the Kids Kabin staff and you can sign up for a session.
We have got thousands and thousands of spare parts so we can fix most things with time and patience!

HISTORY OF BIKE CLUB

'Help, I've got a house full of bikes!' In 1999 the dad of one member of Kids Kabin came to us and said just that. So we worked together to set up a bike repair club and with two volunteers from the University we soon had a regular repair session running. When we moved into the new building, we turned a previous storage shed into a specialist bike repair workshop.

We rely very heavily on donations so if you have any old bikes or spare parts we would love to hear from you.
