Social engineering training
Training social mechanics !
Thanks to the support of the National Lottery, in 2023 we are introducing the Training For All.
For workshop volunteers
Volunteers in the participatory workshop benefit from a a dozen bike mechanics training courses a year.
Some are led by Joëlle at the Cyclo participatory workshop, others by Mauricio at the MolemBIKE participatory workshop.
FOR THE HIROND'ELLES
Les Hirond'Elles learn to ride, but also to get to know their bike and understand how it works.
Ana and Arthur train the Hirond'Elles in basic mechanics and how to choose the right equipment for each individual to ensure comfort and safety on the road.
For the general public
Open to residents of the maritime district and surrounding area, for a fee.
Low-income households will be given priority, as will minorities.
Places are limited.
Practical information to follow.
And maybe one day?
In keeping with the idea (shared with other friends from the cycling world) of creating a mini people's university in bike mechanics, we'd soon like to offer basic mechanics and creative mechanics courses for parents and children or teenagers from the maritime district...
Stay tuned!
In the "Training for All" project, we are promoting a number of values that are close to our hearts:
- Overcoming gender stereotypes and the divisions between men and women in the use and repair of bicycles
- Accessibility, teaching, passing on and sharing knowledge about bike mechanics and the highway code
- Bringing people together in a convivial atmosphere, promoting diversity and equal opportunities
- The culture of autonomy in mobility, in particular empowering citizens⸱ne⸱s in maintaining their bikes and getting around town
- Enhancing the value of common goods in the face of the monopoly of the market logic
- Repairing objects, recycling and the circular economy, the life cycle of our means of transport and their spare parts
