Wenches with Wrenches, New Zealand
Wenches with Wrenches is a loose collective of people affiliated with Mechanical Tempest, keen on taking down the patriarchy and getting more people on bikes.
Wenches with Wrenches first course started in 2001; is a group to provide skills and knowledge about bicycle for women. This group of instructors has grown to a considerable number, not only learning about bike maintenance but also sometime talking about confident and safe cycling through the city, setting up the bike to meet their needs, and building a cycling community. With the Wenches program, women can learn about their bike so that they can make a good bike buy, feel comfortable taking it into a shop for repairs or even fix problems themselves.
