Re-cycling has made it to Norwich! With a stash of secondhand bike parts, knowledgeable volunteers and lots of bike tools, I have been waiting for something like Not About The Bike to start in Norwich for a while. Every Wednesday from 10-3 they will help you to mend your bike for the cost of any new parts. So you learn to fix your bike yourself rather than paying a bike shop lots of money to do it. It also means we don't have to buy all of the different tools ourselves - so definitely good on the resources front.
It is all volunteer run so if you can do some bike repairs and are free on Wednesdays, then why not go along and help out for an hour or two.
So that's every Wednesday 10-3 at Unit 6, Beckham Place just past Anglia Square. For more info email
