Cycle September Events

Women on Wheels basic bike maintenance

A free bike workshop designed by women for women,  where our female mechanics will guide you through the intricacies of bike maintenance and repair. From doing an M-check to repairing gears, we base our classes around what you ask. Feel free to bring your bike along! 

Recyke y’bike is a charity that strives to make cycling for everyone. We want to empower women to feel confident to get out cycling, without the fear of getting a puncture or fixing a break.

Wednesday 17th September - Recyke y'bike Chester-le-Street

Dr Bike in Chester-le-Street 

Recyke y'Bike and Durham County Council are teaming up to get more people on 2, 3 or 4 wheels! To do this, Recyke y'Bike is offering a free Dr Bike in Chester-le-Street (Venue TBC) on Wednesday 24th September from 11-2. A Dr Bike is a basic health check, focusing on gears, brakes and minor adjustments- if your bike needs more work, we will recommend what to get done.

Crook Hall Guided Rides and Bike Maintenance Workshops

Recyke y'Bike will be hosting two FREE guided rides and bike maintenance workshops in September - see details below; 

Family ride: 10am on Sunday 14th September 2025. From Crook Hall, out towards Newton Hall and back. It will be a short and fun guided ride that all the family can enjoy! Get your free tickets here. 

Adult ride: 6pm on Monday 15th September 2025. From Crook Hall, out towards Maiden Castle and back (mostly on cycle lanes - some road cycling, but we will try and minimise this!) Get your free tickets here. 

Routes are sent out shortly before the event. 

During both rides, we will also be running a basic bike maintenance session, allowing you to understand more about your bike and how to keep it in tip top condition! If you have any questions feel free to contact fran- fran@recykey'bike
