Want to ride with confidence and keep your bike in top shape? Perfect for beginners and recreational riders who want to learn the basics of bike care. Perform routine maintenance, fix a flat tire, adjust brakes and gears, and keep your drivetrain clean and lubricated. Practical demonstrations and time for questions included. Bring your bike to practice on your own wheels!

Want to feel more confident maintaining your bike? Join us for a hands-on introduction to basic bike repair in a working bike shop using professional tools and equipment. Designed for riders with little or no maintenance experience, this class will give you the practical skills needed to keep your bike rolling smoothly between tune-ups. This course covers: bike anatomy; wheel, tire, and tube removal; chain maintenance; essential troubleshooting techniques with cable actuated brake and shifting systems. FAQ:Can I bring an E-Bike? For this class, the shop does not have repair stands for bikes that are extremely heavy. We would not recommend bringing your e-bike, unless you can easily lift its entire weight up to your chest for a few minutes unassisted. Can I bring a bike with hydraulic brakes? You can. Our brake adjustments portion mainly talks about cable actuated, but we can give you a few pointers on the maintenance of your bike’s brakes. What do you mean by “Tubed Tires Only”? Most bicycles have an inner tube installed within the tire. But some bikes have their tires set up tubeless, meaning there’s no tubes but instead free floating sealant. We do not cover how to fix a flat in a tubeless set up. If you’re unsure what your bike is, bring it to your local bike shop to check before coming to class.
