Bike Maintenance Workshop

Learn from Bike Easy experts how to make quick fixes on-the-go using the Library’s new bike repair stations and other maintenance tips to keep you in gear. This 90-minute workshop will focus on the basics of bike maintenance, and participants will leave with an expanded knowledge of how to diagnose problems on their bikes. Practice hands-on maintenance in groups, and discuss commuting basics, safe riding tips, and being a vehicle on the road. Instructors will be happy to answer questions about bike fit, equipment, and rules of the road. Participants do not need to provide their own bikes. Open to all experience levels.
