Happy Bikes = Happy Kids
Essential Skills for Parents
There’s a puncture, the chain is rusty, the brakes don’t work…
There’s a million reasons why their bikes are sitting in the shed untouched.
Join us at 5:30pm for the next 4 Thursdays in Glenties.
€3 per session or €10 for all four.
Turn Your Child's Bike into Christmas CASH
We hate to mention the ‘C’ word this early in the year, but here’s what’s going on…
Trade in your child's bike for Christmas
-
Our doer-upper service will fix all those little niggly things and make it saleable.
-
Bring your bike to our workshop in Glenties or leave it at one of our drop-in clinics across Donegal and we'll turn it into cash for you.
Pre loved kids bikes for Christmas
-
We have a few in stock.

Gears, fixies, and balance bikes.
BRAND NEW BIKES ASSEMBLED
-
Save yourself the hassle when it arrives in a flatpack box...
-
We'll put it all together for you and set the seat and handlebars at the right height.
-
...and fit the stabilisers and accessories.
IS YOUR CHILD's BIKE ROADWORTHY?
Most parents lack the time, the tools and the skills to sort the bikes out. Little Spanners has the time, we have the tools and and we have the skills.
So what are you waiting for? Pick your service then give us a call or a text and we’ll organise a time. Bring your bike to our workshop in Glenties or leave it at one of our drop-in clinics across Donegal.
It’s rarely as bad as you think and we aim to have them back to you the same day. Unless it needs major mechanical surgery. But we’ll let you know either way.

WORKSHOPS - SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY EVERY TIME
Join one of our parent workshops where I will show you simple things that require no specialist tools, but will make a massive difference to your child’s bike.
Including how to repair a puncture and then how to stop it puncturing again straight away.
LOGISTICS
Workshops are 2 hours including a quick coffee break. We operate from coffee shops and community centres across Donegal and put the calendar together based on demand. I travel so you don't have to. If our dates don't suit, then get a gang of your friends together and I can come to a location that suits you - including your own garden!
WHAT TO BRING
Just bring yourself and your child's bike. If you've lots of bikes, bring them all. You don't need any tools, but if you have them you are most welcome to bring your own.
COSTS
€10 per person for 1 bike.
€15 per person with 2 bikes.
Each workshop has a minimum of 10 bikes and a maximum of 15.
Whilst you are welcome to bring a 3rd bike, you may not have time to work on all 3.
