Maribyrnong cyclists out for a ride of a Saturday morning can now get a free bike safety check courtesy of the Community Bike Hub.
Stationed next to the Footscray City Rowing Club down by the Maribyrnong River, the bike safety checks will be offered from 9.30am to 10.30am for the next few Saturdays.
“Our main mission is to remove barriers to cycling and any way we can do that we’ll do,” explained Community Bike Hub manager Daniel Seidel of the safety checks which usually double as a service too.
“More often than not I give the bikes a bit of tune up to make sure they’re running well.
“I generally pump the tyres, oil the chain, check the gears.”
Mr Seidel said ensuring brakes were working properly were his main priority, while minor repairs were available too.
“Anything that I can lift into the stand, I’m happy to have a look at.”
