24.01.2022 Cycle Jam will be back from this weekend! Drop in on Saturdays 11am-1pm to learn how to fix your bike or to help someone fix theirs. We'll be using space inside and outside to make sure we maintain social distancing - please also practice good hygiene while you visit.

21.01.2022 A cycling legend finally personafied: many of us have heard of a bike frame litterally breaking apart, but have never seen one. But in today's episode of jam, we come face to face with the evidence!

16.01.2022 hi guys, here is some bicycle news:

16.01.2022 Hi Canberra, we'll be open tomorrow after the march. Hope to see you at the march and at the workshop afterwards. Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.

15.01.2022 Hey Guys, Repair Café is on again this Saturday! Bring your broken things, and see if there would be someone with the knowledge to help you fix it. We will also be opening cycle jam shed during the same time, 10am-1pm.

14.01.2022 In line with ANU campus measures to limit the spread of Covid19, cyclejam is officially closed until further notice. For distant social advice on all things bike, contact [email protected] Stay well:)

14.01.2022 Now this is definitely bike related post: for those jammers who have wondered how to straighten these bent parts.

13.01.2022 Hello Jammers! We hope you have kept warm over the frosty few days. As you may have seen, we are conducting a little survey to hear your thoughts about which day would suit you better for jamming. The choices are Wednesday or Saturday. Please let us know by clicking on the little survey. 6 more days to go until survey close!

12.01.2022 Hey guys, our buddy group Repair Cafe is holding a clothing mending special day this Saturday! It's the usual place and time of 1000-1300. The bike shed won't be open for bike repairs during this event, but it's super awesome opportunity to learn to fix all the holes you have accumulated in your clothes thus far this year!

12.01.2022 Hey guys! We had a good and busy jam session today. Saw quite a few punctured tyres that needed some good patching. Hope we learnt a few nifty new skills. Cycle safe and until next Wednesday, peace out.

10.01.2022 Hullo Jammers! The days are now slowly warming up nicely, and it looks like spring is around the bend! Here is another post not directly bike related, but it's about the innovative problem solving that we like to do (and it probably won't be long until he starts building primitive bikes) https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-45118653

09.01.2022 Planning some cycling over easter? Cycle Jam will be running as usual on Saturday 11-1

08.01.2022 Hello Jammers, bit of a not-the-usual message today. We have been asked to broadcast the Women's Adventure Film Tour, which should be on screen in Canberra on the 5-Sep. Looks like there will be a bit of cycling in there. Check it! https://www.womensadventurefilmtour.com/

07.01.2022 Hey guys, we are on again tomorrow afternoon! Come one come all! We mend everything bike related, from broken hearts to broken hubs!

07.01.2022 hullo jolly jamin riders! Bit of a late notice, but our sister organisation the repair café, is on again tomorrow (9-June). We shall be opening our jammin doors for all cycles to come! Hours will be 10am to 1pm.

05.01.2022 Hey jammer folks! Special announcement: tomorrow's Wednesday jam session (29-Aug) will be our last Wednesday session. From next week onwards, we will jam on the new day and time of Saturday 10am-1pm! First Saturday jam will be on 8-Sep.... We will be seeing you in the brightness of weekend daylights!

04.01.2022 Hello cycle jammers! We are thinking of changing our weekly jam times from Wednesday to Saturday. So here is a little survey for us to gauge your needs and preferences. Let us know which day would suit you better?

03.01.2022 Want more facilities for active transport in the ACT? Enter the raffle to help raise money for the Conservation Council and go in the running to win an eBike!

01.01.2022 Will there be anyone around on Saturday morning who can assist a weary bike traveller? The Environment Centre has received this msg: Hi Ryan, Thank you so much, once again, for your help. Hopefully one of your bike contacts is able to help me out with this, which would be amazing.... As we’ve talked about, I'm doing a bicycle journey from the southern end of Tasmania up the east coast of Australia, travelling to innovative sustainability projects along the way and blogging about them as I go. It's a search for good-news-stories; to get inspired and hopefully inspire others. You can read the full story on the website here: http://pedallingforwards.com I broke the rim of my back wheel coming over the Snowy Mountains. I managed to hobble in to Canberra, but I’ll need to get it replaced. The problem is that it’s a pretty non-standard wheel. I’ll need to find a 27inch road bike wheel rim, preferably double-walled with 36 spoke holes and reinforced eyelets. I’ll then use my existing hub and spokes and get a super-strong wheel built. If any of your bike contacts can help me with this, that would be incredible. This will likely mean I’ll have to stay longer in Canberra while I get all this sorted, so if any of them are able to host a weary bike traveller, I would be doubly grateful. Note: I’m reasonably clean and very good at washing dishes. Thanks again for all your help. Cheers, Nick Taylor 0411442881 pedallingforwards.com
