Our popular course, Hands-on Intro to Bike Maintenance, returns this year with multiple dates and locations to choose from. This 3-hour class is a great place to start if you have little or no experience working on bikes and includes:

  • cleaning and lubrication,
  • how to fix a flat tire,
  • basic brake and gearing adjustments, and
  • how to spot small problems before they become big problems.

Bring your bike so you can learn about your specific components, or you can work on one of EBC's bikes. A review booklet is also included in case you need a refresher down the road.

Already know some bike repair basics and want to take your skills to the next level? Check out our Advanced Bike Mechanics classes.

  • Wheels (bearings and truing),
  • Gearing & Derailleurs,
  • Brakes, Headsets & Bottom Brackets, and
  • Wheel Building.
