PEDALLERS' ARMS (LEEDS BIKE CO-OP), MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS 4 - 8PM |
NOW moved to Mabgate Green, we are not at the Common Place!
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. We'll be open 4 - 8pm every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.
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 Mabgate Green (off Regent St) and we are open 4 - 8pm on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday 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!
