For All Ages: Fix-A-Flat Virtual Workshop

This free Fix-A-Flat Virtual Workshop will be conducted on Zoom. Students will learn how to repair a flat tire – the most common mechanical breakdown. Registration required.

This knowledge will save you time, money, and the headache of being stranded with a flat tire bike. Students will learn how to remove the wheel from a bike, dismount the tire and tube, inspect the tire for damage, and install a new tube. Students will also learn how to patch a tube and handle a large cut in a tire so they can ride home.

To get the most out of the class, have handy your bike, a punctured bike tube you’d like to try to patch, a bike tube repair kit, tire levers, and bike pump.

For more information, contact Bike Easy's Education Programs Coordinator at laura@bikeeasy.org.

In partnership with Bike Easy.
