Bicycle Maintenance & Safety Basics

Ride with confidence, save money, and become more self-reliant. Learn how to keep your bicycle rolling by doing your own routine maintenance and tackling basic repairs on the side of the road. You’ll fix a flat tire, adjust brakes and gears, and keep your chain running smoothly. We’ll also cover how to stay safe on the road, reduce the need for repairs, choose the right gear for different conditions, and address any other topics of interest to the group. No experience necessary.

Bring your non-electric bike, small tools (a list will be provided), and optional gloves.
