Hey guys,

Newcastle Council is holding a free basic bike maintenance class called "Bike Maintenance 1 - Pumped!"

I am not involved in running this event.

I am just spreading the word about these great classes. Hopefully these they will be run again, particularly if there is a lot of interest in them.

Date: Saturday, 14 June, 2025
Time: 2pm-5pm

Where: Adamstown Community Hall/Senior Citizen Hall, 153A Brunker Rd, Adamstown

Registration is essential. Limited spots.

Register on the Council website here: https://newcastle.nsw.gov.au/living/transport-and-parking/cycling/cycling-courses

• If it's booked out, I encourage you to fill out the contact details form on the website, so that Council knows people are interested, and they will contact you about any future courses.
• This is one of four different cycling classes running every weekend in June: safe city cycling, basic bike maintenance, advanced bike maintenance, and Cycling Essentials (how to ride a bike for beginners & rusty riders).
• Go to the website above to register for any of the courses.
