Feedback

I think overall the course was worthwhile and good value for money.
Myself, I picked up a few pointers that I was able to apply straight away and I feel that they will stand me in good stead for the future.Peter was obviously very experienced and he was able to deliver across his points in a cohesive and straightforward manner. (Normie, Aug 2011)

I found the Training extremely beneficial; it showed me the areas of maintenance that were lacking on my bike. I now feel that I can and will tackle these tasks (Mario, Aug 2011)

The instructor, Peter, was very informative and took the time to clearly explain and demonstrate how to perform many maintenance techniques on most items of your bike without spending a fortune in bike shops. All you need is the right tools, many of which are free or very cheap from most bike shops.
All in all, a very good afternoon and money well spent. (Darren, Aug 2011)
