Bike Mechanic class for women- beginner’s level

Tuesday, October 11, 2011

October 30th 10am to noon

Back by popular demand, we'll be having another women’s bike mechanic class at Community Bikes the last Sunday in October. This will be a women only time at the shop. We will be covering the basics that every bike rider should know. The class is appropriate for people with little or no experience with bicycle mechanics. You are encouraged to bring your bike for the hands-on portion of the class, but it’s not required. You do not need to bring any tools, but feel free to bring tools you have that you would like to learn to use.

We will cover how to keep your bicycle chain happy and working well, checking your tires for proper air pressure, what tools you should carry when you ride your bike, and how to fix a flat tire. Please come expecting to get dirty, and prepared to be patient with your self and others.

If you are a woman who knows how to fix a flat, I'd love to have your help during the hands-on portion of the class assisting students.

You do not need to sign-up beforehand and the class is free. If you can't come to the class but are interested in getting e-mails about other women only classes at Community Bikes, send me an e-mail at sherry_n_adams[at]yahoo.com.
