Fix Your Bike Session with Cork Community Bikes

We are open for a public session every Saturday afternoon 2-5pm, when you can bring your bike to our workshop. We are all volunteers and are on hand to guide you, and our focus is on helping you to fix your own bike. You don’t need any experience to come along, just be willing to try.
In the workshop, we have a good range of tools, new and second-hand parts for you to use. We have set prices for parts, and we ask for 5 Euro per hour donation to cover the costs of running the workshop and buying tools.
We have limited spaces for users to work on their bikes, so please be aware we can get busy. There are limited spaces indoors and more spaces outside, so weather can affect what we can offer.
There is no shade or shelter in the car park. In case we don’t have space indoors, please bring whatever you need to be comfortable outdoors.

Bike Upcycler Meetup with The Bike Hub
2024-02-04 13:00 - 16:00, 2024-02-11 13:00 - 16:00, 2024-02-18 13:00 - 16:00, 2024-02-25 13:00 - 16:00 | The Bike Hub, Sundrive Pavilion Eamonn Ceannt Park, Clogher Rd, Crumlin, Dublin 12, Ireland
Join us at The Bike Hub on Sunday afternoon to become a used bicycle UpCycler extraordinaire! No Experience Necessary!
Who it’s for?
Anyone who wants to help out their community by creating more cyclists! You just need to be curious about bikes, you do not need to know anything about mechanics! (sure I didn’t have any before I joined and now I’m hosting these meetups!)
This is also a good meetup if you want to help us find donated bikes, recipient organizations, or general logistics of delivery. You can help without touching a single bike if that’s your speed!
What to bring?
Clothes you do not mind getting dirty
Comfy shoes, you will be standing-walking on a wooden floor.
How it works

Get an orientation on the shop, where tools are, how we match bikes to recipients, and how we set up for the day.
Grab a bike and put it on the stand! Learn how we assess newly donated bikes for repair and what the parts of the bike are called.
Tinker! If you’re experienced, you could probably jump right in on fixing what’s broken. If you’re not, we got you covered! We’ll teach you the basics and make sure you’re doing things right
Clean up for the day

Do you like to make things? Would you like to use 3D software, lasercutter and 3D printing to help you make your idea?
TOG has an open evening to learn how CAD software and 3D fabrication tools can help you make your project.
All you need to take part is your own laptop and some ideas on what you want to make.
This is not a taught class, more like an informal working group of self-directed makers.
We will be happy to help you explore how to use our 3D tools in designing and making your project whether you are a crafter, designer, engineer or hobbyist.
Come and have a look at the tools in our space and get some ideas on how your project can be made.

Join Mark from Rediscover Cycling for a beginner’s bike maintenance class and learn essential skills to keep your bike in top shape.

– Fitting inner tubes
– Inspecting damaged and worn tubes and tyre
– Rebuilding and setting up mechanical brakes from scratch
– Other general maintenance of chains, saddles, and handlebars
– Simplified, take home notes.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own bike to work on so as to learn to maintain their specific parts. If participants are unable to bring their own bike, a bike can be provided – send us an email to bikes@rediscoverycentre.ie with a description of the type of bike you typically use and we can do our best to have something similar for you on the day.

*Minimum numbers required for workshop to take place
*Participants must be 16 years or over
