This website is making it harder and harder to use. In light of that, we probably wont be using it very much! If you want to get in touch, please do so via one of the places on our linktree below: https://t.co/fa86cN8Ajn

If you missed Bike Kitchen last weekend, you have another local opportunity as @ColchBK is at Cannock Mill this Sunday morning. We were at the Fun Day too and this Sunday afternoon we're open for Heritage Day! #cohousing #colchester #coincidence #bike
The workshop will be closed on 31st August as we are attending the New Town Community Fun Day instead, helping our friends at the New Town Bike Hub. We will be offering FREE Dr Bike health checks and repairs as well as FREE BikeRegister security marking. https://t.co/xMDMYPv29A

We thought we’d share some of the wonderful feedback we’ve had recently. It’s our pleasure!

New tool(s) day! We’ve added to our specialist ebike kit with some bits for Bosch, Bafang and Mahle. And, of course, this snazzy little number from BSC Tools to keep your levers straight and true (very important!)

We don't often retweet; but this is one for the keen cyclists and keen historians who are also keen on #cohousing Clearly not 100 years ago. Note cycle parking slots, the child's advanced design helmet etc 🙂#turnthemusicoff

“The owner had left the bike outside the shop unlocked as they felt it was safe to leave the bike momentarily 🚨WRONG!!🚨 Always lock your bike when leaving it unattended. Seriously. It sucks, but otherwise you’re just inviting theft. https://t.co/madDHnXLHu

We're so pleased to see the official unveiling of Alan Palmer Way this week. Alan was an advocate, a supporter and a friend of cycling in Colchester for many years and it's wonderful to see his name in lights!

Trying to get to the workshop and we’re stuck! Good luck getting a buggy or wheelchair through there. Surely this is unacceptable and unsustainable on every level? Engine running behind me too “it’s nice and cool in here” Last mile delivery needs to happen @yourcolchester @FedEx

Hello! If you’re visiting us today you may need to push your bike for a short distance on Sir Isaac’s Walk due to emergency street works. It also may be finished. I dunno. Just be flexible, but know you CAN get through!

We are devastated to hear of the death of local runner and cyclist Arthur Whiston on Argents Lane near West Bergholt on Friday. A woman has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. Please contact Essex Police if you have any information.

Arthur was a wonderful, gentle man who was a regular at the Bike Kitchen. This is awful, as are all deaths on the roads.

Our workshop is pay what you can afford, but would you contribute to a CBK “Pay it Forward” fund for those who can’t afford to pay for parts?
