Has anyone been on any of the local bike mechanic courses? Do you recommend any in particular for non mechanically minded women? I'm rubbish at fixing my bike but as I commute 2 hours a day I really need to learn more than how to fix a puncture ☺

I did the recycle bikes course years ago. Found it really useful, definitely hands on, and felt comfortable to ask daft questions, I've recommended it to many since. As Tim said though you do need to keep using the skills as they're quickly forgotten!

I've done the beginners and complete course at recycle bikes. I've gone from complete bike repair dunce to being able to do quite a few simple basics, although some of the stuff at the end went over my head a bit! Ang who leads the course is a fab teacher. I'd recommend it.
