Your bike has broken down again, but you don't want to invest a lot of money?

That's why there's a bicycle self-help workshop where you can repair your bike.

A team of volunteers is on hand to offer advice and support, along with a well-equipped workshop and a warehouse full of donated used spare parts. This is financed from the AStA budget and donations from visitors.
