How to keep a bike in safe, reliable working condition (without replacing components).  Over four Saturdays, this hands-on course will take you through the process of doing a bike “tune-up” — what most bike shops do for $75-100 if nothing is broken or worn out. You won’t use your own bike in this course, but it will prepare you to work on your own bike with minimal help in our shop, or at home with common tools and just a few bike-specific ones. 

Over four Saturdays, you will learn how to:

• determine a bike’s condition, and if new component parts are advisable, or required
• properly clean and lubricate all parts without disassembly
• true wheels, adjust hub bearings, and change tires
• adjust seat and handlebars for fit and comfort, and brakes and gears for peak performance 
• perform a safety check and test ride, which can be used for all types of bikes
