POP UP BICYCLE REPAIR CAFÉ AT SATURDAY MARKET

Kasian Starchuk-Russel of Barnacle Bikes is pleased to offer a free bicycle repair workshop on August 22nd during Saturday Market.

Bring your bike and any parts you need and let Kasian show you how. He will provide basic tools, but if you can bring a flathead and Phillips screwdriver that will help. And a bike pump if you have one.

Specific wrenches are 8,9 and 10(metric) and 14 and 15 sockets and Allan keys 3-6. But don't  let a lack of tools keep you from attending, there will be some on hand.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
