The sober-minded bike mechanic will profess to precision, delicacy, the smallest tool needed, but in their hearts everyone wants a go on the circular saw. We're putting the finishing touches to our refurb, come help out Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, 5-8!

Nawras from @WelcomingEdi came by today to collect some kids bikes our volunteers refurbished. These will be given to Syrian refugees - we hope we can help inspire a love of cycling in some young new Scots! #BikesForAll

Lots of interesting conversation around kit, (un)necessities, routing, and staying safe - particularly how gender plays a part in real and perceived safety considerations.
