The Spokesman is a qualified Bike Mechanic

I have just returned from an intensive two week course at the Bike Inn, Spalding, Lincolshire. I received my Certificate of Attainment from the owners of the Bike Inn Alf and Theresa Webb. It was a very enjoyable course and it covered subjects such as brake systems, gear transmissions, wheel building, bottom brackets, steering, bubs, hydraulics and frame preparation.

The course had seven attendees and included two Irishmen, myself and Turlough O' Brien from Carlow. Turlough produced a wonderful video on the course, the people and where it was located.

It can be seen on you tube on this link

The Spokesman is away on training

Hi all - The Spokesman is away on training until January 24th. The aim is to learn new skills in bike and wheel building, hydraulic brakes and hydraulic shock absorbers. The momentum for Mobile Bike Repairs is ongoing. As well as the IFSC and Guinness, I will also be visiting DIT colleges, Dublin City Council and East Point Business Park. People love the idea that they get their bikes serviced and repaired while they work
