Hello everybody,
I wanted to give a shout out to a bike repair co-op in Leeds called The Pedaller's Arms: http://pedallers-arms.org/
You pay what you want, between £10-25, for a yearly workshop membership. They have pretty much all the tools you can need and a bunch of CTC trained mechanics who can tell you what needs fixing and how to do it.
The difference to a service at a big shop is that you have to actually learn how to fix the problem - but personally I think that's a good thing. Plus, its cheaper!
I went along last night and fixed my bike cheaper than I'd have got from Evans etc. I can also head back when I want to upgrade parts.
Really cool idea and well worth checking out.
