If you haven’t yet embraced the joyous experience of cruising about town on ya bicycle, it’s a damn shame! For those that have I’m sure you’ve experienced  strange rattles and squeaks emerging from inexplicable locations; brakes screeching or just not working, gears slipping or the fun of a tyre puncture. Rather then simply dealing with it or getting fed up and throwing your bike aside and resorting to Melbourne’s painful Public Transport system or the ol’ automobile, head down to CERES Bike Shed.
