Some sessions will take the form of hands on workshops, where the Spokes People team will run through Cytech accredited practice and advice for you to take back to your garage. Other sessions will feature seminars, workshops, brand-specific demos and ask-anything sessions with professional cyclists, trainers and mechanics.
