Are you a B!KE member who is looking to learn more in-depth information about bicycle mechanics than you’ve had a chance to during drop-in hours? Maybe you are not a B!KE member but would like to feel more confident about the wrenching you’re doing at home, or would just like to better understand how your bicycle works.

Starting in May, B!KE will be offering monthly Mechanic Courses to the general public. These will be small, intensive classes covering a specific component of the bike each week.

The courses are open to everyone, but an RSVP is required for each class attended so that we can ensure class sizes are optimal for everyone.

Each class is $10 for members and $15 for non-members. Please come by the shop to sign up as payment in advance (cash only) is required for registration. Classes will begin at 1pm and run for about 1 ½ hours.

For more info and to sign up, please contact questions@communitybikeshop.org or drop by during shop hours (Monday-Wednesday, 5:30-8:30 pm).
