use tools, get advice, fix bikes : free
Regularly Scheduled Jams: FREE!
Come to any of these regularly scheduled jams and bring your bike. Or if you don't have a bike, just visit a Jam to observe. Before working on your bike, make sure to check-in and sign the release, which declares that you accept responsibility for all work done on your bike.
​The original Cycle Jam is still held at the Recyclery. They generously allow us to use their tools, parts and space. The Recyclery employs individuals with disabilities to help rehabilitate donated and salvaged bikes. These bike are then sold through their storefront at extremely reasonable prices.
The Recyclery is located in New Acton, on ANU's campus, next to the Canberra Environment Centre. It is situated before the roundabout leading to the National Museum of Australia. The driveway is shared with the Environmental Centre.
On the first Saturday of every month, Cycle Jam is invited to the Gorman Marekts. We face Ainslie Ave and are under a shady tree outside. The Markets are a one minute walk from the Canberra Centre mall and a great place to support cottage industry businesses and grab a delicious meal at a great value.
The Gorman Markets are located in Braddon, at the Gorman House Arts Centre on Ainslie Ave. It is a block behind the Canberra Centre mall, walking distance from the city center.
Special Programs:
As part of a community outreach program to encourage literacy, the Dickson library has contacted CycleJam to help run jams. Details are available on their website. Booking is free, but essential.
Peter is looking to partner with your employer to organise cycle maintenance jams in the workplace. These jams will help encourage employees to ride to work by empowering them with the skills needed to keep their bicycles reliable and safe.
