Hey all,

Being in lockdown and a keyworker who is 100% reliant upon their cycle - I've recently just hit a new issue that I had not considered pre-lockdown. What happens when all the bike shops are out of below a grand bikes and the waiting time for bike fixes (for more than a puncture) are over a day?! And parts are hard to source even for the large stores?

We get to finally learn how to care for our bikes - or at least, lazy I does whom used to rely on lovely bike shop folks replacing like-for-like on any parts that had gotten too old etc.

So, I turn to here, the wider wilds of the internet for some help from learned souls

First assemble your essential tool kit. Duck tape, WD40, cable ties and a hammer. That should fix pretty much anything.
