mindful mechanics
zoom - ONLINE
Now more than ever we need our bikes to bring us time to breathe, time to enjoy a simple pleasure and escape from reality. Bikes offer us vital head space, whether that is on the trails or on a daily commute, but niggling faults or even the fear of a ‘mechanical’ can limit that freedom and joy.
What is your goal?
Whatever your starting point and whatever your riding style, I will share my knowledge and passion for mechanics. I will help you understand how your bike works and know that you can handle issues that arise.
Teaching online means that we are Covid-safe, but it is also a great way to turbo-charge your mindset, developing resilience and confidence. You learn to trust your instincts. A mix of teaching and ‘homework’ between sessions means that you are able to practice and embed what you are learning.
Through this bespoke 3 month course I will teach you the skills and build your confidence so that you can ride without fear!
Cost: Early bird price £300 (paid in full) or £125/month
