We Are All
Mechanics
Our Mission
To teach women about the mechanical systems of the bicycle, providing them with the opportunity to learn and practice "unsocialized skills", including:
  • Using technical vocabulary
  • Gaining access to a repair-shop setting
  • Practicing hands-on adjustments
Our Basic Bicycle Maintenance Course is a four-class series


What To Expect

While we can't turn you into a seasoned bike mechanic in four short classes, here is what you should feel comfortable with after attending our Basic Bicycle Maintenance Course:
  • Repairing a flat tire
  • Increased familiarity with bike terms and tools
  • Adjusting cable tension for tuning your brakes and shifting systems
  • Diagnosing brake pad problems
  • Proper chain cleaning and lubrication
  • Knowing when to get a tune-up, or an overhaul (and what that means)
The Basic Bicycle Maintenance Course is a wonderful resource for cyclists who want to feel more self-sufficient on the road (or the trail). It will help you digest the information found in a bike repair manual or online and help you know what to ask for when you bring your bike in for maintenance or repair.
