London Bike Kitchen

http://www.lbk.org.uk/

"The London Bike Kitchen is an open DIY workshop where you can work on your own bike instead of giving it to someone else.

We're here to:

    a) Promote self-reliance and confidence through education
    b) Make cycling accessible and affordable
    c) Get more people of all backgrounds on bicycles

We have a full tool library, mechanics on hand to help and courses to build skills so that you can learn how to take care of your sweet two-wheeled machine: Intro to Bike Maintenance, Bike Building, Wheel Building, Total Overhaul and Long Distance Tour Preparation. To enhance your experience we'll also hold women + gender-variant nights, monthly rides, bicycle-related events (including the infamous Bicycle Bingo) and Members Only Perks.

As a charitable social enterprise, our goal is to create a workshop that is self-sustaining and open to everyone. The money that you spend here will subsidise classes and shop time for those from disadvantaged backgrounds, allowing them to gain access to bikes and bicycle education.

We are located at 28 Whitmore Road, N1 5QA, near the canal on the border between Hoxton and De Beauvoir [Town]"
