Upcoming Events
CANCELED - Basic Bike Maintenance Workshop
Date and Time
Saturday, March 28, 2020 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Description
Update 3/12/2020
Due to university closure this workshop has been CANCELED. If you are interested in bike maintenance... please sign up for our April course.
Bikes, as with any vehicle, should be serviced regularly. Anyone who rides a bike should know how to handle a few basic maintenance tasks such as how to replace worn brake pads and change a flat tire. Not only will simple things like these make your bike safer, they also make riding your bike more enjoyable, and could save you an expensive bill from a shop. The topics we'll cover don't require being a master mechanic and most can be done with simple tools you likely already have (or can acquire for a couple bucks from the hardware store).
Join one of our experienced mechanics for this introductory bike maintenance workshop and start getting your bike rolling smoothly for Spring rides!
Topics include:
- Wheels: Fixing flats & basic truing
- Brakes: inspecting, adjusting, & replacing rim-type brakes
- Shifters: basic adjustments
- Other general tune-up topics as needed/ time allows
Requirements
A desire to know more about the inner-workings of bicycles. No
