Womens classes February 2012

Saturday, January 7, 2012

In response to requests, we'll be holding a couple more women only classes this winter:

On Sunday Feb. 19th, 10am to noon, Janelle will be teaching bike basics
On Sunday Feb. 26th, 10am to noon, I'll be teaching adjusting brakes and shifters

The bike basics class is designed to include the basic things that all bike owners should know, no previous mechanic experience required. We generally cover proper tire pressure, basics on how to care for your chain, what to carry in a tool kit, and how to fix a flat.

In the adjusting class, I'll cover the most common problems and adjustments for cable actuated rim brakes and derailers. I won't be covering hydraulic actuated brakes, disc brakes, coaster brakes, internal hub shifters, drum brakes, etc. No previous mechanic experience required.

If you are a woman with some bike mechanic experience and would like to help out during the hands on portion of the class, we'd love your help. Please contact me at sherry_n_adams[at]yahoo[dot]com

If you are a non woman person we'd love to have you involved in Community Bikes during any of the many other opportunities. Please call the shop to learn more.

Feel free to pass this announcement on to women you know who may be interested, but please do not post to listservs.
