Who is this workshop designed for?

  • Experience: This workshop is designed for people who already have done short cycling trips or already have attended the Root-B basic bike touring preparation workshop.
  • Age limits: Bike touring has no upper limits! For responsability reasons, we unfortunately cannot accept children.
  • Technical knowledges: We will teach you everything you need. You should already know the repairing basics (Flat tire, broken chain, broken spokes)
  • Physical condition: We will not ride the bike during this workshop so you don’t need any special physical preparation prior to the workshop.
  • Equipment: We will provide you all the necessary equipment in order to make you train the mechanical and the first aid clusters in real conditions. If you prefer to practice on your own bike and/or with your own tools, feel free to bring them!
  • Clothes: Depending on the session you booked, the workshop takes place indoor or outdoor (See next available workshops for more information). Please note that the outdoor workshops will take place in real conditions, regardless of the weather (as during your bike tour). Depending on the weather forecast, you may want to bring waterproof/warm clothes.
  • Last but not least: Good mood and fun are higly recommended
