The Pedallers' Arms

This Sunday 17th March we are open from 12-4pm for our monthly women and trans session. This is a safe space where you can bring your bike down to work on. All mechanics on duty are women/trans.

See you there!

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:

Bicycle Thieves (1h 30)

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.

At Pedallers’ Arms we’d like it if cycling was just the normal way of getting somewhere. This talks about a cyclist from Little London and how that used to be the case.

We were on Dissident Island radio show in Nov 2011 but forgot to add the audio so here it is a bit late:

Update: we now stock lots of new parts.  Although we are very pro helping people to do their own bike mechanics we also really support local bike shops and the work they do for cycling.

We will be showing films, eating cake, and drinking refreshments. Join us!

This will be after the workshop session so will be around 5pm – 7pm.

The Yorkshire Evening Post ran an article about co-operatives and we were in it, in fact it seemed to only have pictures of us.  You can see the article with pictures of some of our mechanics.  We are not too sure about the headline….
