To provide a supportive environment for women to overcome the barriers that keep them from learning how to maintain their bicycles. We want our hands-on classes to translate into an increase in our students' confidence on their bicycles- no matter whether they are riding two miles or two thousand miles.
Our Basic
Bicycle Maintenance Course is a four-class series designed for beginners and those wanting to review the basics of bicycle maintenance.
Our Level 2 Classes are for graduates of the Basic Bicycle Maintenance Course, and allow students to tackle more advanced bike maintenance topics.
What To Expect
While we won'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.
