Description

This course is an introduction to the world of bicycle mechanics. It will cover the most asked about topics. Come learn some basic bicycle mechanics from an expert mechanic! Each class will be short and to-the-point, and you'll leave feeling more confident and capable of working on your own bike. Bicycles, materials, and tools will all be provided by Provo Bicycle Collective. Working on a personal bike will not be allowed during the class, but there will be an optional "Lab Time" after each class. There will be an additional $5/half hour charge for use of our tools and benches. Members and Core Volunteers will not be charged for Lab Time. Each individual class will be $5. Participants can purchase the 4 classes bundle for $18 (purchase available in-shop). Members and Core Volunteers get free access to classes. Class Schedule: Lesson 1: Tube and Tires (Nov 9)Lesson 2: Chain (Nov 16)Lesson 3: Brakes (Nov 23)Lesson 4: Shifting (Nov 30)   Bicycle Collective has made bikes and bike repair accessible to all, regardless of income since 2003. What was once a small-scale workshop in a storage unit is now a state-wide network of five brick and mortar shops (in Salt Lake City, Ogden, Provo, St. George) that repair and distribute donated bikes by the thousands each year.
