The Pedallers Arms is a place to come and learn how to repair your bike in a friendly atmosphere. We are a co-operative of people, all volunteers, who want to help people fix up their own bikes. The emphasis is on “anyone can fix their bike”. We have tools, books and time for you.

Come drop into one of our sessions. We ask for a donation towards rent and wear and tear, but no one will be turned away due to lack of funds. We are based at the Common Place (23-25 Wharf Street in Leeds city centre) and we are open 3-7pm on Monday and Wednesday and hope to have a social event on the 2nd Sunday of each month. We’ll do our best to make sure there is tea, coffee and cake on offer at every session!

Suggested donations

We want to be affordable to everyone, but we do need some cash to pay for tools and rent of the space. We’ve managed to secure a small grant to pay for the tools we need to get up and running, but tools break, especially if they get lots of use.

You can become a member of the Pedallers’ Arms for between £15 and £25 a year. This gives you access to the space, tools, books and our support and guidance. You decide how much you think you can afford.

Alternatively, if you prefer you can donate between £2 and £10 per session. Give what you think it was worth- how much time did you spend here, how many tools did you use, how much guidance did you get, how useful was it, and so on.

But if you’re totally broke then worry not, we certainly don’t want to turn you away. Have a chat with one of our mechanics.
