Bike Repair for Adults
Bicycle repair classes for students over the age of 18! Our programs for adults offer the same fun, friendly, and accessible high-quality bike education that students who are under 18 get in our Youth Programs.
A.B.C - ADULT BASICS CLASS
October 5th – November 9th
A.B.C. teaches just that, the ABC’s of bike repair. In this class we will focus on the basics, in a format specially designed for beginners. A.B.C. is an opportunity to learn the most fundamental concepts of bicycle repair in a safe and nonjudgmental environment.
D.E.F. – DEVELOPING EXCELLENT FIXING-SKILLS
Note new dates! September 22nd – October 27th
D.E.F. class takes the foundational knowledge you already posses as an intermediate bicycle mechanic and builds on it, taking you further than you thought you could go. The class focuses on current bicycle technology and advanced repair techniques. D.E.F. is considered a class for those with basic level of experience and comfort with bike repair, but it is still a safe and fun environment designed to help all students to grow as mechanics.
TRUE THAT! (Bicycle Wheel)
New Class! October 3rd
Wheel truing can be challenging to master but it can also be so much fun! Let’s work together to demystify this challenging but valuable skill! Once you get started you might find it hard to stop. Take this one day class and learn how to true a wheel in all directions and how to check and adjust spoke tension to make your wheel sing! This class is an excellent introduction for those interested in taking the Build a Wheel class.
BUILD THAT! (Bicycle Wheel)
New Class! October 10th – October 24th
Are you ready to take your repair skills to the next level? Nothing builds skill and comfort with wheels like building your own! Still working on your wheel truing chops? Building a wheel is the best way to learn. Get in touch with your wheel self and learn all there is to know about joining rims, spokes and hubs to build a wheel.
VOLUNTEER WORKTRADE STRUCTURE
Bike Works offers reduced fees for our adult classes in return for volunteer service. The volunteer worktrade model is a way for us to give back to our volunteers and to invite our students to participate in our volunteer community.
VOLUNTEER REPAIR PARTIES
Thursday evenings from 6:30pm to 9:30pm, Bike Works hosts a drop-in bike repair party. Come on down and wrench with us, drink with us and snack with us.
