Spring 2013!

Pedallers' Arms — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 08:20:21 +0000

Well done for surviving winter! We hope your bike made it through the salt, grit and snow in alive. Spring is here and the workshop has been very busy. It is great to have the garage doors open again and not to need the heater. One mechanics could hardly get to the workshop as the towpath was at capacity and we have even been cycling without gloves! Come down for a Spring bike clean. We would also like to run some rides and show some films so please get in touch if you want to help.

Bamboo bicycle

Pedallers' Arms — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 10:01:05 +0000

A Pedallers’ member brought in an interesting bike to the workshop a few days ago. While she was travelling around Ghana she found a bamboo bicycle workshop. In a laid back haze of smoke the Ghanaian were building beautiful bamboo frames, held together by epoxy resin. The aim of the workshop is to create sustainable transport in rural Ghana and help combat the high unemployment levels, seems good to us!

Reviews etc

We’d really like to let more people hear about Pedallers’ Arms. We are pretty stretched for time but one way of doing it is to ask you to tell your friends about us, tell strangers about us, and interact with us on the internet. Posting reviews about us on any website, sharing links on social media and generally pushing Pedallers’ will help raise our internet profile so more people find out about us.

If you have any other ideas then let us know.

Hi,

You may have noticed we have a brand spanking new logo. It has been very kindly designed by a local graphic designer, Chucho. We have been putting the new flyers out around Leeds. If you can distribute any then please come and take some to help more people hear about Pedallers’ Arms.

Here are the new flyers:

We also have a new poster which we are hoping to get put up in all the council One-Stop Centres in Leeds, if you know anywhere else we can put them please let us know.

Here is our poster:

Thank you very much to Pete Shadbolt who did our original logo, gone but not forgotten:

Saturday 16th Feb: The Bicycle Thieves

Pedallers' Arms — Sun, 10 Feb 2013 16:34:39 +0000

5 – 7pm
Films, cake, refreshments.

Bicycle Thieves (1h 30)
+ a selection of shorts

Lamberto Maggiorani plays Antonio, an unemployed man who finds a coveted job that requires a bicycle. When it is stolen on his first day of work, Antonio and his young son Bruno (Enzo Staiola) begin a frantic search, learning valuable lessons along the way. The movie focuses on both the relationship between the father and the son and the larger framework of poverty and unemployment in postwar Italy.
Vittorio DeSica 1948
