Nikki Tomkins
Course Session Leader and Team Beryl
Nikki is a keen advocate for the importance of repair: empowering people to fix their own bike and understand the mechanics behind the machine. She's been a regular part of the Broken Spoke community at DIY sessions and Beryl's Nights before joining the mechanics team. When she's not fixing bikes she's fixing books, and at the weekends you'll find her out on the trails tent in tow.
