This class is not currently being offered.
A three-hour course covering maintenance and repair of bicycles, taught by two longtime professional bike mechanics. Our intention is to focus on shifting adjustment, as this is an area that many people find intimidating, but is actually quite feasible for anyone to learn. We will also teach other areas of bike repair upon request. This class has a small class size, so students can expect plenty of one-on-one attention. Bring a bike to fix, or we can supply extra bikes to work on.
Knowing how to fix your own bike is empowering and might get you or your friends out of a jam. Come learn with us!
Age Requirement: This class is for adults and youth 8-17 if their parent or guardian is also registered for the class.
