Our Build A Bike class is perfect for those who want a soup to nuts course on all bike systems and how they work together or for those on a budget that are in need of a bike and want to combine that with the training to care for the bike.
You can bring your own bike if you like since this will teach you how to give it a complete overhaul. You can also purchase a used, unrepaired bike from us for $20.00 or we will provide a bike for you to work on that will be placed in our showroom for sale with the proceeds to help fund our organizational activities.
We have a limited amount of volunteer slots available with each class that enable you to virtually "earn" your bike through your volunteer efforts. See our Volunteer Policy here.
Build A Bike - AKA Intermediate/Tune-up Class (12 hours): $100
Prepare to get your hands dirty as you learn more about bike maintenance. Our trained mechanics will take you through our tune-up procedure, step by step, so you'll really understand how to keep your bike running smoothly. Attendees can bring their own bikes to work on, purchase a used bike from us for a small price to repair for themselves, or repair a bike to donate back to the shop.
Areas of the bike that will be discussed:
