Let there be bikes! The amazing community-run DIY bike workshop Tumeke Cycle Space is combining forces with Hum Salon to host a public bike market in Grafton on Saturday 21 May.
This is a free community event, open to everyone. It’s the perfect opportunity to sell those old faithful bikes from your garage, fix them up, or find a trusty new two-wheeled companion for your daily commute. Break free and let your inner cyclist loose.
Bring the whole family along to enjoy the fantastic atmosphere – there’ll be live music, bike maintenance help, and of course the wonderful and amazing cafe at Hum Salon, a community-run space that facilitates the strengthening of communities.
- Saturday 21 May, from 11am – 3pm
- Hum Salon, 123 Grafton Rd (on the corner next to Grafton Bridge)
- The event is free, but koha is welcomed.
PS If you don’t know about Tumeke Cycle Space, you really should!
They’re just off K’Rd, and are open Sundays (1-3pm), and Wednesday & Thursday (5.30-7.30pm). You can connect with them on Facebook, too.
Tumeke provides shared space to work on bikes, and also runs regular workshops to teach basic bike maintenance skills. Keen to know how to fix a flat, for example? You’re in luck this weekend:
