SVBC's certified League Cycling Instructors will teach you the basics of fixing your bike so it is safe and smooth to ride! This in-person hands-on skill-building workshop empowers you to repair and maintain your own bike for the most frequent issues, including fixing a flat. The 3 hour class is open to ages 14 and up. Bring your own bike (no more than 1 per student) to learn and work on! You can also work with another student on their bike if you cannot bring your own bike to the class. Please also bring a rag or two if you can. Air - how to fix a flat and reduce risk of flats by over half, how to find out how much air to put in your tires, and taking wheels on and off. Brakes - diagnose what adjustments your brakes need, make them, and determine when pads need to be replaced. Chain+ (transmission) - how to help your chain move smoothly and quietly across the cassette and chainrings (gears). A dditional issues/topics may be covered as time allows. What past attendees have said about the class:  Loved being able to practice tube patching. Loved that you had so many staff who were knowledgeable.  - Melissa P.  I felt more capable of fixing my bike which made me want to bicycle more!  - Frankie E.  Made me more aware of how wear-and-tear affects the mechanics of my bike, and how often I should be prioritizing basic maintenance - also led me to purchase a few new tools to keep my ride in good shape  - Lauren B.  I love the practical knowledge and hands-on exercises on patching the tire and removing wheels. Safety protocols and ABC’s before riding a bicycle was invaluable. At first I thought removing the rear tire was complicated but Tim showed us how seamless it was! Thank you for all you do! I am very grateful.  - Doddie A. While we hope you'll ride your bike, motor vehicle parking is available in the parking garage. It does cost ~$3.00 to park a car for the day. Please park on the 4th or lower floors and arrive 5+ minutes early to pay your parking fee before joining the class. Except for extreme weather, the class will be held, rain or shine as we have cover in the parking lot. This class is provided to the public for free with funding from 2016 Measure B courtesy of VTA . While there is no cost to attend, it costs about $300/person signed up to conduct this course. There is limited capacity and we also have had classes with waitlists of 30+ people, so please only register if you have high confidence that you will attend. If that changes, please cancel your order if you are no longer able to make it so others who want to attend can learn to be able to take better care of their bikes and feel safer and more comfortable riding more. There will be some small prizes for attending, including patch kits. Please add a ticket for each participant (separate names). Tickets are required to attend.
