Repair Cafés

Our next repair café will be on Sunday 26th July, from 10am to 1pm, at the Brunswick Tool Library, 127 Nicholson St., Brunswick East. You’ll find us in the underground car park!

Come along and have our experienced volunteer fixers help you repair your broken treasures - saving them from the tip! We supply the tools, the workbenches, and the expertise. All you need to bring is your thing for repair and any spare parts that you might require to fix your item (such as zippers, power cords, bike tubes, hinges, etc.). You’ll be paired with a repairer to learn about or assist in the repair of your item where possible. See how simple and rewarding repairing can be, and build confidence to start fixing things yourself!

Workshops

Bike Maintenance 101 Workshop - Saturday 19 July
Keep your bike rolling smoothly with this hands-on session led by BTL volunteers. Whether you’re a daily commuter or a weekend rider, you’ll learn the practical skills to maintain your own bike, save money on repairs, and ride with confidence.
We’ll cover the essentials: cleaning and lubing your chain, checking and adjusting brakes, fixing a flat, sorting out gear shifting, and giving your bike a proper safety once-over. Bring your own bike along to work on, and leave knowing how to keep it in great shape.
No experience needed. Book your spot: https://events.humanitix.com/bike-maintenance-101-btl
