Your bike is troublesome/dirty/not fun to ride[edit | edit source]
Bring it over and we'll show you some simple things on making it better. The idea is we'll show you very basic maintenance that you can do at home on a monthly basis for cheap which'll make your bike ride better, extend its life, and hopefully make you a more capable and inquisitive cyclist. This might wind up being more of a watch and learn and a little less hands on, but you will still have a chance to work on your bike if there's time. Limit of 8 person/bike pairs for this class due to space, but if there's enough interest and you dont have your bike with you you are of course welcome to watch and ask questions.
