Free Bicycle Maintenance Workshop at ALoT!

Amanda from Grey Lynn

Auckland Library of Tools (ALoT) is excited to bring you the 2nd in a series of repair and maintenance workshops every first Thursday of the month at Hackland Makerspace, just behind ALoT!

Thursday July 4 will be a free hands-on bike maintenance workshop! Come join in the fun, bring your bike, buddy up with one of ours, or just watch and learn the basics of caring for a bike and keeping it road-worthy. Bike expert Nico from Tumeke Cycle Space will help you become more comfortable with your bike and even help you with minor repairs, so you will ride away feeling like a pro.

Swap knowledge, tips and tricks, stories, and elbow grease with your neighbour and improve your bike skills, all while making Auckland a more bikeable place to live. Bring appropriate tools if you have them, or use the tools available in house. There will be nibbles and tea on hand, but contributions of food and beverage are very welcome. The vibe is relaxed, and social. Teens are welcome to participate, with an accompanying adult. We also have a play area for kids and there will be a couple of toddlers around as playmates!

Please RSVP ("maybe" is ok!) so that we have an idea of attendance.

Bus stops on Ponsonby Rd (InnerLink, 20, 105, 106, 866), Great North Rd (11T/W, 18, 20, 195), and Karangahape Rd (WX1)
We are also near the northwestern cycleway.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Aucklanders, our weekly rubbish collections are staying after councillors voted to scrap a proposed trial of fortnightly pick-ups.

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?

Keen for the details? Read up about the scrapped collection trial here.
