Youth Board April Gathering - Maindee Triangle 

A small, colourful space next to the Chepstow Road, Newport

Maindee Triangle 

Bring you bike down to the market to get it checked by a qualified bike mechanic and adjusted free of charge. There will be two or three bike mechanics working through the bikes, this can take 30-60min to complete and this will be run as a first come, first served basis, we will be unable to store bikes due to the size restraints so people will have to wait or return later. We hope to be able to fix most repairs however, we don’t have a stock of all parts so some may not be possible on the day. We can offer a future date and get the parts ordered or signpost to bike shops who will fit more specific parts.&nbsp; We will also be able to give information on all our other activities and programs to help got you cycling, walking, and wheeling around the city. Booking: Just turn up! All tools will be provided.
