Bike Maintenance Workshop with Bike Easy

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. We will focus on the basics of bike maintenance, and participants will leave with an expanded knowledge of how to diagnose problems on their bikes. Open to all experience levels, we will work in groups to practice hands-on maintenance. We will also have a short discussion of 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. In partnership with Bike Easy.
