About

Community Bike Repair School and Workshop

Bike Explosion is a non-profit bike maintenance school and workshop situated directly on the National Cycle Route 2 in Dartington. Run entirely by volunteer cyclist-educators, our work takes a practical, do-it-ourselves approach to fixing and maintaining bikes. Our workshops seek to demystify bike mechanics which are often unnecessarily thought of as complex or highly technical. We set the workshop up in 2010 to bring about a radical shift in thinking and practice around accessibility to cycling, sharing our collective knowledge and experience with hundreds of other cyclists over the last twelve years. Our mobile workshop goes out on the road to Torbay and Plymouth and wherever else there is interest for us to run local workshops and teaching.
