The mechanics of Community Bikes invite you to join us this summer for a series of classes on bike mechanics. These are hands-on classes. Each focuses on a particular system of the bicycle. We introduce the basic concepts, some common problems and how to address those problems We spend the rest of the class with students practicing on bicycles. You are encouraged to bring your bike.
Summer 2010 Schedule:
August 21 - How To Fix A Flat & Other Bike Basics
August 28 - Brakes
Sept 4 - Shifters and Derailers
Sept 11 - Bearings and Wheels
All classes are from 11am to 1pm at Community Bikes, 4009 Sebastopol Rd, Santa Rosa, located very close to the Joe Rodota bike path. The price is sliding scale $0 to $10 per class. You can take individual classes or the entire series.To sign up or for more information please call 579-5811.We've been teaching these classes for over 2 years now and they have been a success because we've had so many experienced volunteers helping out that we can usually have a 1:3 ratio during the hands-on portion of the class. If you have some experience with bike repair and are interested in helping out, please call about volunteering, we'd love to have your help.
