Aigburth resident Maliha, who attended a Learn to Fix event organised by Aigburth Community Cycle Club, said:
“I learnt to ride a bicycle at age 23 when I moved to Europe. There are social barriers for women to do such activities in Pakistan and as such I had no experience of dealing with common issues that come with biking regularly. We took apart the bikes and put them back together and now I am way more confident of my ability to make small repairs and adjustments to my bike.”
