If you are new to maintaining your bike and also want to know the best ways to keep your machine out of the repair shop, this is the class for you. All it takes is a little love and maintenance to keep your ride in peak condition. Come get your hands greasy with us!

Our hands-on External Bike Maintenance class will give you the basic tools to fix flats, adjust brakes and gears, maintain your chain, and perform minor adjustments that can have a significant impact on your ride quality. Not only will you learn how to make adjustments to your own bike, you will develop an understanding of how these components function and work.

This is a great opportunity to familiarize yourself with your bike and save money in the long run by cutting costs for minor repairs. The class is mix of lecture, demonstration and hands-on skills development as you work on your very own bike. All tools will be supplied by the Bike kitchen, you just need to bring your bike.

This class will take place over two sessions:
Friday, April 7th 6:00PM to 8:00PM
Sunday, April 9th 10:00AM to 2:00PM

Food is not provided for our classes, but you are welcome to bring snacks. We will stop for a 30 minute lunch break during the Sunday class session.

The fee for this class is a sliding scale: $55-95 for Bike Kitchen members or $105-145 for non-members. If you do not currently have a membership you MUST select a ticket price that has “Non-Member” in the description. Enrolling in the class as a non-member also buys you a year-long membership at the Bike Kitchen!
