This class is designed to provide our students with the basic understanding and fundamentals of bicycle maintenance. We will provide each student with the basic knowledge of bicycle anatomy, fixing a flat, brake and derailleur adjustments, bearing adjustments, and truing of wheels. We feel the best way to learn something is by listening, observing, and finally performing the task yourself. That being said, this is a "hands on" course so bring your bike and be prepared to get dirty and have fun while learning a new skill at the same time.
Cost of class includes Book: Zinn and the Art of Bicycle Maintenance.
