In stock (2)

Wednesday January 29, 6:00-8:00pm @ the bike school (85 Anderson St) 

This two-hour class will cover common mechanical issues you might encounter while out on a ride. By the end of the class, students will know how to put together a basic tool kit, how the various parts of the bike work together, how to repair a flat tire, how to re-install a dropped chain, and when you should call someone to be picked up!   

Things to bring:  

  • Your own bicycle. If you don’t have one, let us know and we will sort you out.   
  • A notebook for taking notes (if you like taking notes) 
  • Some clothes that you don’t mind getting greasy (we also have aprons)  

Classes have a maximum of 4 participants to ensure high quality instruction. 

Sliding scale pricing helps us ensure that economic challenges aren't barriers to learning how to repair and ride your bike safely. Please pay full price if you can afford to, or choose your pricing option from the dropdown field.
