Bike mechanic

Community Cycle Centre recycle bikes for the community in Portsmouth. We take donated old bikes and do them up for a new owner. We also do repairs.

We will provide the tools needed to replace parts, but as this is a recycling project we use salvaged parts where possible.  We need you to identify if a bike is worth repairing, or should be used for parts on other repairs.  You will need to identify what new parts are needed, assist with repairs and inspect work done by untrained volunteers.

Skills

You do not need formal qualifications, but will need to demonstrate a sound knowledge of bike repairs and maintenance.  The Cycle Centre is open from 10am every Saturday, although we ask volunteers to start from 9.30am: you can work all day or for just a couple of hours.
